Safecor Health is a specialty pharmaceutical contract packager that repackages bulk oral-solid medications into unit-dose, barcode-labeled formats for hospital pharmacies. Founded in 2008 by Steve Fischbach in Woburn, Massachusetts, the company operates three FDA-registered, cGMP-compliant facilities in Woburn, MA; Columbus, OH (headquarters); and Rockford, IL, holding USP <795>/<797> capabilities, NABP-VAWD accreditation, DEA registration for controlled substances, and ISO 9001:2015 / ISO 13485:2016 certifications. Safecor repackages more than 8,500 unique NDC numbers and serves over 1,000 U.S. hospitals, including 75%+ of U.S. News Honor Roll Hospitals, with a customer base spanning community hospitals through multi-state health systems such as ScionHealth (90+ campuses).

The product portfolio is anchored in Hospital Unit-Dose Repackaging, with adjacent offerings including SafecorLogics (turnkey repackaging and logistics for health systems), SafecorInsights (pharmacy data analytics with 600+ analyses), Contract Packaging (telehealth and DTC pharmacy channels), and Commercial Unit-Dose Products. Add-on services include bar coding to GS1 standards, RFID tagging, controlled-substance repackaging, hazardous-drug handling, robot packaging, and 340B program support. Safecor monetizes through per-dose repackaging fees, lot-change fees, freight charges, and contract packaging services, distributed via enterprise field sales, dedicated channel-partner coverage, and the major pharmaceutical wholesalers and GPOs (Vizient, Premier, HealthTrust). The company has been privately held by Vesey Street Capital Partners since an August 2021 recapitalization, expanded its Columbus footprint in 2022, appointed Mark Saxon as CEO, added Kevin Congdon as CCO in October 2025, and acquired the U.S. unit-dose packaging business of Viatris in November 2024.
