Fildas Trading was one of the first private initiatives after the change of the communist regime in Romania, being founded by entrepreneur Anca Vlad, who owns 100% of the capital.
In its over 30 years of existence, Fildas has grown constantly above market level, becoming the largest pharmaceutical distributor in Romania, with a turnover of over 1.3 billion Euro in 2023 and a market share of 22%.
Fildas serves over 5.000 pharmacies and 300 hospitals through a network of 15 pharmaceutical warehouses.

Catena emerged in 1999, when the activity of Fildas was vertically expanded by acquiring a company that owned 30 pharmacies at the time.
Since then, Catena has grown exponentially both organically and through acquisitions, becoming the largest pharmacy network in Romania, with 950 units, a turnover of over 1.4 billion Euro and a market share of 23%.
The team of Fildas-Catena currently consists of over 8.000 professionals.

Since its establishment, the main objective of Fildas has been to provide the highest quality pharmaceutical products and services to patients in Romania. Over the course of years, in order to achieve this, Fildas has concluded distribution contracts with all relevant pharmaceutical manufacturers on the market. The portfolio of Fildas comprises over 15.000 products. Among the reference projects carried out in partnership with international pharmaceutical manufacturers, we mention bringing innovative hepatitis C treatments to the Romanian market and the active involvement in several thematic vaccination campaigns.

Fildas-Catena aims to remain a family-owned, agile and flexible group of companies that adapts as quickly as ever to the context and realities on the ground. In recent years, the Group has also benefited from the active involvement of Alexandru Vlad, as Vice-President.

From a strategical point of view, the Group aims to invest as a priority in the digitization and automation of the business processes, environmental protection, and the use of green energy. To accelerate the achievement of these objectives, among other things, the Group has invested in recent years in the development of an independent technology and IT company and a company that is in the process of designing a photovoltaic park and energy storage capacities.
