Health Supply continues to gain momentum
The joint venture between Galenica and Planzer is establishing itself as a specialist in GDP-compliant transport services. Health Supply already employs over 120 people.
In mid-December 2023, Galenica and logistics company Planzer announced the establishment of a joint venture called Health Supply. The company will bundle all transport services that are already carried out by Planzer and other transport service providers on behalf of the Galenica Group. The joint venture enables Galenica to reduce complexity, reduce the number of external partners and align transport services with the guidelines of good distribution practice (GDP).
Six months after its founding, the new company is making good progress: over 120 employees are already working for Health Supply and the first vehicles bearing the “Health Supply” logo can be seen on the roads. Another 30 vehicles are currently being procured.
As well as sustainability, there is another key requirement: the vehicles must be able to be operated at a storage temperature of 2–8°C in addition to 15–25°C in some cases. This is particularly important for the delivery of vaccines in the run-up to vaccination season. As Health Supply’s transport services are also open to other market participants and temperature-controlled logistics in line with GDP guidelines is becoming increasingly important, Galenica and Planzer expect the aspiring organisation to continue to mature.
