Why is Swevet changing its name?

Swevet was acquired in August 2022 by AmerisourceBergen and MWI Animal Health. The name change is part of our long-term strategy to establish a presence in the Nordic region. We want to show that we are part of the global veterinary wholesaler MWI Animal Health, which also operates in the UK and the USA.

However, we are still the same company with the same important values focused on doing everything for healthier animals. We are simply adding new benefits by being part of a larger company, such as a bigger supplier network, larger volumes for better negotiation, more expertise in various areas, technology, and much more.

Who is MWI Animal Health?

MWI Animal Health is a leading global distributor in animal health with established networks in the UK and the USA.

What does MWI mean?

The name MWI comes from the initials of Millard Wallace Ickes, a DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) and skilled rider who started a distribution business in the 1970s in Idaho.

Why did Swevet choose to merge with MWI Animal Health?

MWI Animal Health shares our passion for animal welfare and supporting animal health professionals. Like us, they are dedicated to delivering quality service.

What types of customers does MWI Animal Health serve?

MWI has a broad customer base including small animal veterinary clinics, production animal facilities, and retailers.

What does this name change mean for our customers?

Together with our many years of experience and industry contacts, this new partnership will offer you even more valuable services and solutions.

How will this affect how Swevet conducts business?

The acquisition will not affect how we do business. Swevet is still the same dedicated team as always. Our focus is, and will always be, to deliver high-quality service and support to you.

What does it mean that Swevet is changing its "commercial" name to MWI Animal Health?

Swevet AB remains our legal company name, and Swevet AB will continue to appear on, for example, invoices, contracts, and other official documents where the legal name is required. The commercial name refers to the name we use in communication and dialogue with external parties.

What is the difference between Cencora, AmerisourceBergen, and MWI Animal Health?

Cencora/AmerisourceBergen is a U.S.-based multinational wholesale company distributing pharmaceuticals and medical supplies to the global healthcare industry. MWI Animal Health is part of AmerisourceBergen and provides veterinary solutions—that is, products, distribution, and technical services for the animal health sector. MWI Animal Health operates today in the USA, UK, and Nordic countries—represented by us in Sjöbo.

Swevet has a new look

We have updated our appearance to match the graphic profile of MWI Animal Health. This means a new design reflecting our partnership and our ongoing commitment to quality and service.

We are currently revising our delivery schedules to improve the efficiency of our deliveries to customers and reduce our CO2 footprint.

How does this affect me as a customer?

You will receive your ordered products delivered once a week. This allows you to plan your business without constant interruptions for deliveries. The goal is to simplify and enhance your purchasing experience.

What are the benefits of this new system?

By consolidating backorders and special orders into one weekly delivery, you can avoid extra shipping costs and enjoy an efficient delivery schedule. Many of our large customers have already adopted this and are very satisfied with the results.

Can I still place urgent orders?

Of course! If you need an urgent order, you can still place rush orders that are sent immediately. Just note this in the message field of your shopping cart when placing your order.

Which day can I expect my delivery if I choose weekly delivery?

Depending on your purchasing pattern, we will suggest the day that suits you best. We strive to accommodate your needs and preferences.

We hope this answers your questions! If you have any further inquiries, please feel free to contact us.

The webshop works best in Chrome and the latest versions of browsers. If you are using Internet Explorer or an older version of another browser, it is recommended to update your browser and try again.

If the item is shown as "temporarily out of stock, back in stock soon," it is usually a stock item and will be available again shortly. If you want to know the exact date, you can always contact our customer service. If the item is marked as "backordered from supplier," unfortunately, we do not have a date from the supplier.

Some of our items are special order products that are only ordered for our warehouse upon customer request. These items have a small green "banner" with the text "special order" on the product card in the webshop. Please note that special order items are non-returnable!

Below the product card, there is an estimated delivery time. This time is preliminary and indicates the approximate number of days the item is expected to be in stock after a customer order is placed, before it arrives at our warehouse. Additionally, there is handling time at our facility before we can process and ship the item to you. Therefore, it’s a good idea to allow extra days before the item reaches you, but for more precise information, you can always contact our customer service.

If you hover over the underlined text on the product card, a box will appear with a brief description of the above information so the customer knows what applies when ordering special order items.

To streamline our invoicing process, we encourage you to pay each invoice separately to the specified bank account using the associated OCR number. It is important to avoid combining payments into a single lump sum, as has occurred previously.

Invoicing Process

Please note and use the assigned OCR number with each payment. If you experience difficulties including the OCR number when paying multiple invoices, please contact our customer service.

Credit Invoice

If you receive a credit invoice from us, please handle it as follows:

• Deduct the amount of the credit invoice from your next payment to us.

• Enter the OCR number of the invoice you are paying, and we will recognize that you have made a partial payment and understand that the balance should be matched against your credit invoice.

• If you prefer to have your credit invoice paid out, please contact customer service to provide your bank details. Send us an email to customer service, with "credit invoice" in the subject line.

VAT Handling

We would like to inform our customers that our invoices are issued excluding VAT. Therefore, the customer is responsible for adding VAT to the invoice amounts in their accounting and bookkeeping.

For information on when these items are expected to be available again, please contact our
customer service.

They are available to assist you with this question and any further inquiries.
