Dear Members and Visitors:
PDE, formerly known as the Philadelphia Drug Exchange, is an organization of Pharmaceutical manufacturers and suppliers founded in 1861 rich in history and tradition.
As we move into 2009 with great hope for a better tomorrow we can’t help conclude that 2008 was a year of turmoil for our economy and our country. Of course the Pharmaceutical industry is not immune to this turmoil and PDE member companies both small and large experienced some of the restructuring, volatility and concerns seen throughout our other industries. But the PDE has weathered these storms before. Since our founding, through too many wars and economic downturns, PDE has sustained itself through the strength and commitment of its membership. PDE continues to be a forum for member companies to bring calm to the ever changing landscape. As we gather at five scheduled social and business events throughout the year we get the opportunity to network and address some of the issues we have before us as a Pharmaceutical organization.
If you have any questions contact us at pdetrade@msn.com
Robert B. Gettis, PDE President
