The PHOENIX group has confirmed its position as a leading healthcare provider in Europe with a solid annual result. With a total operating performance of €39.6 billion in fiscal year 2021/22 (31 January 2022), the company achieved an increase of 10.3 per cent compared with the previous year. Total operating performance, which comprises revenue and handling for service charge, is the key figure relevant to pharmaceutical wholesale.

Dr Carsten Sauerland, currently Chief Executive Officer of HC Trading, a globally operating trading company of HeidelbergCement, will become the new Chief Financial Officer of the PHOENIX group with effect from 1 May 2022. He will succeed Dr Lorenz Näger, who took over the mandate on an interim basis on 24 January 2022 from Helmut Fischer, who is on sick leave. Dr Näger will resume his dormant membership in the Supervisory Board of the PHOENIX group on 1 June 2022.

The PHOENIX group supports aid organisations in Ukraine quickly and unbureaucratically with urgently needed pharmaceutical products. Through its national subsidiaries in Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, and the Baltic States, the healthcare provider is currently preparing the delivery of medicines, bandages and medical equipment. In addition, the PHOENIX group is putting together another shipment from Germany in close coordination with the German pharmaceutical wholesale association “PHAGRO - Bundesverband des pharmazeutischen Großhandels”.
