Company History
GPhA was founded in 2000, following the merger of three industry trade organizations: the Generic Pharmaceutical Industry Association, the National Association of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers, and the National Pharmaceutical Alliance. The three groups represented similar members, with the former two placing a greater emphasis on scientific issues and the latter focusing on sales and marketing issues. As GPhA, the industry now speaks with a stronger, unified voice before federal and state lawmakers, regulatory policymakers, and international agencies.
