The PHOENIX group is a leading healthcare provider in Europe. Every day, we reliably provide people with drugs and medical products. Our approximately 34,000 employees thus make an important contribution to comprehensive healthcare in Europe.

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.
