Dive Insight:
In a filing with the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority, RxCrossroads said the expansion of distribution facilities in Louisville was needed to meet future customer demand and ensure patients receive needed therapies.
The company provides supply chain logistics, reimbursement support, compliance and adherence programs, trial offer programs and specialty pharmacy services.
According to the Louisville Business First, the firm consolidated four office sites into one facility last year. Most of the planned expansion will occur on the site where a 200,000-square-foot warehouse is under construction.
RxCrossroads is a division of Cincinnati-based pharmacy services company Omnicare.
