COMPANY HISTORY

Cook Pharmica is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cook Medical, the world’s largest privately held medical device company.

In 2007 our company was awarded the Facility of the Year Award for Facility Integration from the International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineers (ISPE). Our campus has an additional 775,000 sq. ft. of expansion space and currently employs 220.
