DHL Supply Chain has bolstered its specialised logistics services for the life sciences and healthcare sector in France through a significant long-term partnership with Sanofi, a prominent global healthcare company. This strategic alliance will see DHL providing comprehensive warehousing, inventory management, picking and packing, and order fulfillment services across three major sites in France: Amilly Distribution, Croissy-Beaubourg, and Saint-Loubès.
Hendrik Venter, Regional CEO for DHL Supply Chain EMEA, emphasised the strategic expansion of their multi-country collaboration with Sanofi. “Leveraging our combined global reach, scale, and expertise in healthcare within the EMEA region, we unlock significant synergies to optimise customer supply chains and create greater resilience,” Venter stated. Ruth Beadle, Head of Global Supply Chain for Sanofi, expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership. “We are delighted to partner with DHL to continue delivering the highest quality products sustainably from France. The Amilly, Croissy-Beaubourg, and Saint-Loubès distribution centers will maintain their pursuit of excellence with DHL, adding value to our customers and patients in France and globally,” Beadle noted.
