Vienna, 14 – 16 April 2026 – Yusen Logistics is presenting its global healthcare platform at LogiPharma 2026 in Vienna(*1), showcasing the company’s strengthened capabilities in delivering specialist healthcare solutions worldwide.
As one of the pharmaceutical industry’s leading global forums for supply chain innovation, LogiPharma convenes senior leaders from manufacturing, distribution, logistics and technology to address evolving regulatory requirements, operational complexity and patient focused supply chain challenges. At this year’s event, Yusen Logistics is demonstrating how its global end-to-end healthcare solutions deliver measurable value to pharmaceutical manufacturers, medical device companies and healthcare providers worldwide.
Yusen Logistics’ healthcare capabilities deliver secure, GDP compliant transportation and storage solutions for pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and other critical healthcare products. Leveraging advanced temperature controlled infrastructure, robust quality management processes, and strict regulatory compliance, the organization operates under harmonized global standards while enhancing end to end supply chain visibility. This integrated approach ensures regulatory excellence and safeguards product integrity and patient safety across global markets.
Following the acquisition of Walden Health, including Movianto, Eurotranspharma, Transpharma International, and Walden Digital(*2), Yusen Logistics has further strengthened its healthcare presence and expertise in Europe. Customers benefit from a seamless end-to-end solution covering cold chain management, regulatory compliance, warehousing, inventory control, last mile delivery and strategic network optimisation, complemented by specialised healthcare services such as order to cash management, batch release, serialisation and GMP compliant operations. Built on stringent GDP standards, Yusen Logistics Healthcare supports increasingly complex global healthcare supply chains with precision and reliability.
Yusen Logistics is welcoming LogiPharma 2026 attendees at booths 27/28 and 50, located directly opposite each other within the exhibition area. A key highlight of the event was the traditional Japanese sake barrel-opening ceremony, known as Kagami Biraki(*3).

(YLGM) as well as Minoru Futonaka, Managing Director of Yusen Logistics (Europe) B.V. (YLEU), underscoring the global leadership’s commitment to the continued development of its healthcare business worldwide.
