Back Expert road logistics solutions for medical equipment and devices

Reliable, agile, and high-quality—Kuehne+Nagel’s tailor-made road logistics solutions for the European medical technology industry help keep your business thriving.

Built on experience and industry know-how, our logistics services are designed for the specific requirements of transporting medical technology devices. While not all med tech products require GDP compliance, our solutions adhere to the stringent safety and quality standards essential for non-GxP compliant  products.

Keeping your shipments on track

Considering the indispensable role of medical technology in diagnostics, treatment, and patient care, uninterrupted supply chains for delivering these products to hospitals and healthcare settings are crucial. However, several distinct challenges arise when moving med tech goods.

Taking urgency seriously

When unexpected delays occur during transportation, you need assurance that issues will be promptly resolved. Full transparency is crucial to minimise any negative impact on your customers.

Safeguarding product integrity

Even minor damage can result in product loss and disrupt clinical practice. That is why your sensitive products require expert handling.

Swift installation for uninterrupted care

High-value equipment must be swiftly installed and ready for use to ensure seamless patient care. Trustworthy and qualified personnel are therefore crucial for last-mile delivery.


Given the high stakes, you need to know that your shipments are handled by a logistics provider offering solutions that are tailored to your business’ specific needs. 

Dedicated MedTech centres provide peak competence

Within our robust network, your shipments are closely coordinated by experts at our dedicated MedTech competence centres. These hubs offer centralised customer service and proactive management of your shipments—from planning to swiftly fixing any unexpected issues. Depending on the level of service, you can expect regular consignment inspections, end-to-end visibility, and white glove deliveries.

Reliable, safe, and high-quality med tech solutions

Whether you're shipping time-critical med tech products, high-value medical devices, or fragile items, our road freight solutions ensure top-notch reliability, safety, and quality. 

Depending on the level of care your goods require, you can choose from two service options: MedTech and MedTech+.
