This new fulfilment centre intends to be a part of the company’s healthcare services offerings, providing customers with the ability to focus on what is most important to them – the patients.

“This fulfilment centre will support our mission to bring product integrity to the next level for our healthcare customers that require premium services for moving their products. Our focus is on the patient, and with ease of access to the significant uplift capacity at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, we are able to better serve not just our customers, but also patients across the country who depend on these products,” said Marcello Ferrari, Vice President Global Head of Customer Development Healthcare, Contract Logistics for Kuehne+Nagel.
