CONSUMER healthcare giant Karo Healthcare has agreed a strategic partnership with Northampton-based Yusen Logistics as it steps up its growth strategy and looks to strengthen its supply chain.
The company, headquartered in Sweden, is a leader in the commercialisation of branded, original over-the-counter products and prescription medicines available in more than 90 countries – principally in Europe and the Nordic nations.
Karo Healthcare aims to build a fast-growing, pan-European portfolio by expanding its footprint in key markets and the accessibility of its distinctive brands.
Yusen Logistics (UK), based in Northampton, will use its Good Distribution Practice compliant EU road network, ocean and air freight solutions to help to streamline the distribution of Karo’s products, making them more easily accessible to consumers.
Yusen Logistics’ healthcare and global key account director James Colson said: “Yusen Logistics’ GDP-compliant services are designed to meet the specialised needs of the healthcare industry, ensuring that high-quality products are delivered to customers in a timely and efficient manner.
“As a global logistics provider, we offer supply chain solutions through different transport modes that will help Karo to scale their operations to achieve their growth targets.”
Karo’s senior sourcing manager Jens Lamberth said: “Partnering with Yusen Logistics allows us to leverage their extensive logistics expertise and robust infrastructure, enabling us to deliver on our growth strategy while maintaining the highest standards of efficiency and service.”
