Karo Healthcare, a leader in the commercialisation of branded, original over-the-counter products and prescription medicines, has announced a strategic partnership with Yusen Logistics (UK) to strengthen its supply chain and accelerate its growth strategy.
Headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, Karo Healthcare is available in over 90 countries, focusing primarily on Europe and the Nordic region. The new partnership aligns with Karo Healthcare’s ambitions to build a fast-growing, pan-European consumer healthcare portfolio by expanding its footprint in key markets and enhancing the accessibility of its distinctive brands. To achieve these goals, Karo sought a third-party logistics (3PL) provider with a scalable operating platform capable of optimising efficiency across its supply chain.
Yusen Logistics (UK), based in Northampton, will support Karo Healthcare in this endeavour by offering dynamic planning and value-added services. Through their Good Distribution Practice (GDP) compliant EU road network, as well as comprehensive ocean and air freight solutions, Yusen Logistics will help streamline the distribution of Karo’s products, making them more easily accessible to consumers.
James Colson, Healthcare and Global Key Account Director at Yusen Logistics, 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.”
This collaboration is expected to be a key driver in Karo’s continued expansion across Europe, ensuring that its portfolio of trusted healthcare products reaches consumers efficiently and reliably.
“Karo Healthcare is committed to providing high-quality healthcare products that are accessible to a wide range of consumers,” said Jens Lamberth, Senior Sourcing Manager at Karo Healthcare. “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.”
