Animal Health International, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiaries, is engaged in the distribution of animal health products in the United States and Canada. The Company's subsidiaries distribute more than 40,000 products sourced from over 1,500 manufacturers to over 71,000 customers, including veterinarians, production animal operators, and animal health product retailers.

AHII's marketing approach is to emphasize a broad range of product availability, immediate delivery, competitive pricing and in-depth product knowledge. By distributing products from over 1,500 manufacturers, our business maintains relationships with nearly all major drug producers in the United States and can provide broad and deep selections of products to meet varied customer needs. As the leading food animal health products distributors, the company is able to consolidate purchases from its manufacturers and maximize volume purchasing discounts. Our experienced sales representatives provide a value-added level of customer service and expertise in the regional characteristics and needs of their customers. Our business commenced operations in 1954 as part of a family-owned drug store business. Following a series of business combinations, we were renamed Walco International, Inc. in 1972. Over the last five years, we have had consistent growth and completed several acquisitions. We believe this growth is attributable to consolidation by our customers, the proliferation of generic animal health products, and our increased focus on sales and marketing. On June 30, 2005, we were acquired by investment funds affiliated with Charlesbank. In September 2006, we changed our name to AHII.
