history
The company traces its roots back to a pharmacy founded in 1932 by Henry and Esther Schein in Woodside (part of Queens , New York State). 1942 began with the apparent direct sales of penicillin , so a first growth phase began. From the 1950s onwards, Schein shifted the focus from consumer business to supplying practices and laboratories. In the 1980s, Jay Schein introduced extensive automation of the entire supply chain, which contributed to further strong growth. Numerous takeovers from competitors followed to this day. After Jay Schein's death in 1989, the company began entering the international market (starting in Europe) under the leadership of Stanley M. Bergman. The company has been listed on the NASDAQ since 1995 (abbreviation HSIC).
