HollisterStier Allergy

What HollisterStier Allergy does

HollisterStier Allergy, operating as Jubilant HollisterStier LLC, is a Spokane, Washington-based pharmaceutical manufacturer founded in 1921 that produces allergenic extracts and related supplies for allergy diagnosis and immunotherapy. The company is a subsidiary of India's Jubilant Pharmova Limited, part of the Jubilant Bhartia Group. Its product portfolio spans standardized and non-standardized extracts across nine allergen categories (dog, cat, mite, venom, insect, pollen, mold, horse/cattle, and food), supported by proprietary processes such as the Acetone Precipitated (AP) extraction technique for cat, horse, and cattle extracts, Ultrafiltered Dog extracts engineered to meet Immunotherapy Practice Parameter dosing targets, phenol-free glycerin formulations, and a manual venom extraction operation covering 14 stinging insect species. HollisterStier holds the sole venom extract supplier position in North America, ships a portfolio of 70+ pollen and 80+ food extracts, and produces complementary skin test devices (ComforTen and Quintip), histamine positive controls, diluents, and sterile vials.

The business sells exclusively to U.S. healthcare providers and allergists through a multi-region field sales organization, an inside sales team, and a B2B online ordering portal, with quote-based pricing and no publicly disclosed list prices. Processes are overseen by both the FDA's CDER and CBER, providing dual regulatory oversight that is rare in the sector. Revenue is generated primarily from one-time product sales of extracts and supplies, supplemented by free training, consultation, and practice setup services delivered by in-house medical science liaisons and a botanist who supports regional extract panel customization. The company employs approximately 900 staff at its Spokane headquarters and is currently expanding capacity through a $285 million facility investment announced in 2021.
