In the 1928, Herbert Donovan Hopwood, a young salesman of firm ambition, decided to swap his growing career for a chance at a dream he’d been quietly nurturing time. Ever since his first big sale. H.D Hopwood knew he could be the finest manufacturer’s representative in the country. He leased a modest 1,000 sq warehouse and office in the Kingston waterfront, armed himself with a small staff of five, and began selling as many products.

Today, HD Hopwood & Company Limited is one of the largest distributors and importers of pharmaceutical and consumer products in Jamaica, as well as a licensed manufacturer. Representing some 40 multi-national companies, the Hopwood team now stands at 285 and distributes many leading brands such as Listerine, Quaker, Cadbury, Kimberly Clark, Huggies, Proline, Dole & Seven Seas.

We are more diversified now than we’ve even been. Our pharmaceutical and consumer products are distributed to a wide range of customers in Jamaica and to targeted markets in and around the Caribbean. It is our reputation for consistent efficiency, however, that has made us a trusted name in the industry.

In September 2001 the Neal and Massy Group of Companies, one of the Caribbean’s largest conglomerate acquired 100% ownership of H.D. Hopwood and Company Limited.
