GEODIS has signed an agreement to acquire GANDON Transports, a leading French player in temperature-controlled pharmaceutical products.
Already very active in the healthcare market, GEODIS will now be able to expand its capabilities and pursue its development in this market segment.
Said Marie-Christine Lombard, Chief Executive Officer of GEODIS: “This acquisition will consolidate GEODIS’ status as a key player in the healthcare market.
“From inventory planning to temperature-controlled storage and transport to the final recipient, we want to offer our customers a complete and reliable solution throughout the supply chain.”
GANDON Transports has an extensive network that will strengthen the capacity of GEODIS to distribute to pharmacies, hospitals and wholesalers throughout France.
Said Stéphane Cassagne, Executive Vice President of GEODIS’s Distribution & Express Line of Business: “This operation will meet our customers’ growing demand for temperature-controlled transport of the healthcare products.
“This new resource will enable us to offer our current and future customers a transport service for heat-sensitive products, anywhere in France.”
GANDON Transports president Joël Gandon said “By joining the GEODIS group, a world leader in transport and logistics, we will be able to offer greater opportunities to our customers and employees.”
