The PHOENIX group

The PHOENIX group is a leading healthcare provider in Europe. Every day, we reliably provide people with drugs and medical products. Our approximately 37,000 employees thus make an important contribution to comprehensive healthcare in Europe.

Pharmaceutical wholesale is the company’s core business – with its unique level of geographical coverage in Europe. In a total of 27 countries, we supply pharmacies, doctors, and medical institutions with drugs and health products from more than 163 distribution centres.

Millions of people throughout Europe can rely on our services day in, day out. To ensure it stays this way, we have developed country-specific logistics processes that allow us to supply our customers across the continent reliably and quickly.
