SPOTLIGHT: AmerisourceBergen buys Bellco Health for $235M

Pennsylvania-based AmerisourceBergen is purchasing drug distributor Bellco Health for $235 million. AmerisourceBergen says it's making the purchase because Bellco has a foothold in the New York City market, the company possesses a sophisticated generic pharmaceuticals business, and Bellco's nationwide sales of dialysis products and services complements Anmerisource's specialty distribution businesses. The company doesn't expect additions to its earnings for the first 12 months following the acquisition. Release
