Who is IMCO?
In today’s challenging marketplace, it can be difficult for the Independent Medical Distributor to remain just that – independent. IMCO was founded in 1981 to give the Independent Medical Distributor the same purchasing power as large national medical supply distribution companies and provide the support they need to grow. Now in our 5th decade, we are proud to be the premier Independent Medical Distributor association.

We will drive your business into the future of healthcare with relevance and profitability.
Medical Supply Distribution is a competitive business, and we feel it is important for our distributors to know that IMCO will never sell directly to any account. We succeed by helping our member distributors grow their business, maintain direct vendor relationships, access great products and promotions, and earn incredible incentives.
