With new Irving campus, healthcare giant McKesson looks to add almost 1,000 employees

McKesson already had approximately 900 employees at several different offices in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. With its new corporate office in Irving, McKesson pledged to add 975 new jobs and spend $157 million in capital investments. It’s been awarded a grant of $9.75 million in economic incentives from the Texas Enterprise Fund -- one of the largest grants awarded by the state since Toyota. The city of Irving is also providing more than $2 million in incentives to McKesson.

The major corporate office will become the new home of the company’s U.S. Pharmaceuticals Group, which will move from San Francisco to Irving. It is the company’s largest business unit and biggest revenue driver. McKesson’s four major offices will now be in San Francisco, Dallas, Scottsdale and Atlanta.

The pharmaceutical distributor ranked fifth on the Fortune 500 list last year, but unlike its large corporate peers Walmart, Exxon Mobil and Apple, its name is lesser known.
