Who We Are
The Chain Drug Marketing Association (CDMA) is owned by over 100 regional drug chains, independent pharmacies, regional drug wholesalers and specialty distributors, who collectively serve more than 8,000 drug stores. We help suppliers communicate with our members through our trade shows and extensive marketing programs. We differentiate ourselves by supporting suppliers’ sales teams 52 weeks a year, offering centralized billing, and hosting trade shows for networking and relationship building. We have created a store brand exclusively for our members and have formed strategic alliances to help fulfill our mission. CDMA has been helping suppliers “make the connection” for over 80 years.
