Pharmaceutical logistics in demand as war rattles supply chains
DHL plans to invest 2 billion euros in pharmaceutical logistics by 2030 as customers seek more storage and tighter cold-chain handling.
- DHL is expanding its health logistics campus in Florstadt, Germany, to secure medicine supplies amid growing fears of shortages caused by the five-week-old US-Israeli war against Iran.
- By 2030, DHL Group plans to invest $2.97 billion worldwide to bolster pharmaceutical logistics, offsetting losses from declining mail volumes and global trade chaos.
- Managed by 600 specially trained employees, the facility utilizes cooling systems capable of reaching minus 80 degrees Celsius; Katrin Hoelter, head of DHL's logistics division in Germany and the Alpine countries, said the site can "simulate any regulatory requirements."
- As the US-Israeli war against Iran disrupts global shipping, Hoelter told AFP that customers are requesting increased storage volumes to ensure raw material availability for production.
- Half of the global investment will target North America, primarily the United States, where drugmakers are relocating production in response to President Donald Trump's tariffs and efforts to lower drug prices.
