Patterson Companies (Nasdaq: PDCO) today announced that it has
been named to the Fortune 500 list of America’s largest companies
for the second year in a row. In its 64th year, the Fortune 500
ranks U.S. companies by total revenues for their respective fiscal
years. Fortune announced the selection of Patterson Companies
and other corporations in the compiled Fortune 500 list.
The company is a top provider of everyday essentials, specialty
supplies, industry-leading technology, equipment and comprehensive
support for businesses in the dental and animal health
industries, with operations in the U.S., U.K. and Canada.
“In the past year, we have strengthened our extensive product
portfolio by introducing new technologies and solutions for the
industries we serve, while continuing to provide the best
technology support and expertise for our customers,” said Mark
Walchirk, President and CEO of Patterson Companies. “Our talented
team is continually innovating and finding ways to better support
our customers, enabling us to grow as a company and celebrate this
significant milestone for the second time in our history.”
The company traces its start back to 1877 when John Patterson
and his brother Myron Fayette (M.F.) Patterson purchased a
Milwaukee drugstore. The young, enterprising brothers soon added
dental and surgical supplies to their stock and moved the company’s
headquarters to St. Paul in 1891.
Patterson has grown through the acquisition of like-minded
distributors as well as technology companies, positioning the
company as a software and technology support leader in the
industries it serves. Net sales for calendar year 2017, which are
reflected in the Fortune list, were $5.6 billion.
“This accomplishment is only possible with the collaboration and
commitment from our more than 7,000 team members across the
company,” added Walchirk.
