Storage of medical devices
Temperature-based logistics for pharmaceutical devices
Do your medical and pharmaceutical devices need to be stored at specific temperatures? Swiss Post’s logistics solutions meet all the requirements for professional storage.
The logistics centers in Villmergen and in Pratteln meet the strict requirements for the storage of medical and pharmaceutical devices and are officially approved by Swissmedic and the US authority FDA as storage facilities for pharmaceuticals. Our employees have been trained in how to deal with sterile, pharmaceutical and medical goods.

Cross docking
We operate an external central warehouse for several hospitals. Suppliers no longer make individual deliveries to the hospital, but bring the goods directly to our central platform instead. Here, we check and systematically store the goods. The orders from the individual hospitals are picked according to station and delivered to the agreed location.
The storage of medical and pharmaceutical devices is suitable for hospitals and clinics, as well as manufacturers and retailers. Swiss Post takes responsibility for the entire logistics or parts of it.
Disposal
- Disposal of pharmaceutical devices
- Disposal of plastics
