UPS Supply Chain Solutions®
Healthcare Logistics Expertise
Every day we work with companies in pharmaceuticals, med devices, biotech and other healthcare fields, with the intent to try to help make their supply chains just a little bit healthier.
Because we know that no matter what you're moving, there's a person on the other end who's eagerly anticipating it.
It's a patient, not a package®.
If you’re in healthcare logistics, you’ve got a lot on the line. Customer requirements to meet, product integrity to maintain and government regulations to follow. And in the end, there’s a patient whose well-being counts on you to get everything right. Storing and distributing time- and temperature-sensitive goods requires extraordinary attention to detail. Our extensive network of global healthcare facilities and temperature-true services helps you make it all work. So you’re fully equipped to meet the special storage and handling needs of pharmaceutical, animal health, biotech and medical device products.
