UPS Healthcare expands Dublin warehouse

Dublin, Ireland: UPS Healthcare, the medical logistics arm of United Parcel Service, has opened a 6,000sq metre warehouse near Dublin Airport to serve the booming pharmaceutical and medical device industry.

The €12m temperature controlled store incorporates small package, freight forwarding and distribution. “We’re the only provider who can take our customers’ treatments from clinical trial right to the patient, turning logistics into a competitive advantage, one that will only help grow Ireland’s position as a central hub for the pharma industry,” said Cathy O’Brien, vice-president for international sales at UPS Healthcare.

“Most importantly, we can give patients the peace of mind knowing that their critical healthcare treatments and devices are in safe hands.”

This expansion was fuelled by UPS’s acquisition in 2022 of Bomi Group, which has temperature-controlled sites in Europe and Latin America.
