UPS has officially completed its acquisition of Lombardia, Italy-based multinational healthcare logistics provider Bomi Group.
Bomi provides high value-added services in the medtech and pharma sectors, with a customized and tailored approach, with more than 150 global multinational customers, according to UPS.
This acquisition adds significant scale to the company’s UPS Healthcare unit, with temperature-controlled facilities in 14 countries, as well as 3,000 new employees throughout Europe and Latin America.
The companies’ combined teams, vehicles, and advanced facilities will allow UPS Healthcare to expand its pan-European cold chain network and also said that UPS Healthcare has developed what she called a detailed transition plan to support the continued growth of its business and also connect cold chain capabilities to major European and Latin America gateways.
UPS officials noted that this transaction represents its most recent initiative in expanding the company’s healthcare logistics network and services, with an eye on meeting growing demand. What’s more, it added that going back to 2020, UPS has doubled its global footprint, with some examples of recent expansions including: newly constructed and soon-to-be-opened dedicated state-of-the-art healthcare logistics facilities in Germany and Australia, as well as expanded campuses in Hungary and the Netherlands.
