Röhlig Logistics launches GDP WeCare Program for healthcare compliance
Bremen, 16 June 2025 - The owner-managed logistics company Röhlig Logistics has successfully launched its GDP WeCare Program, designed to enhance compliance and risk mitigation in global healthcare logistics. With the certification of the Chicago (ORD) branch in the U.S., the Birmingham (BHX), Manchester (MAN) and London (LHR) branches in the U.K., and the Antwerp (ANR), Brussels (BRU) and Liège (LGG) branches in Belgium, Röhlig is setting a new industry benchmark for Good Distribution Practice (GDP) adherence.
The Röhlig GDP WeCare Program is developed in alignment with international GDP guidelines, including WHO and EU regulations. It goes beyond GDP Guidelines setting a new benchmark in healthcare logistics and enabling Röhlig to take proactive control of quality and compliance in an increasingly complex regulatory environment. The initiative provides a tailored, controlled, and scalable approach to healthcare logistics, incorporating market-specific compliance measures, enhanced training protocols, and proactive quality management.
Juancarlos Cruz, Global Head of Healthcare & Life Science at Röhlig Logistics, says: "We recognised the need for a more robust, self-managed compliance framework that goes beyond standard GDP guidelines. By implementing our own policy and program, we are not only ensuring consistency across our network but also proactively managing risks to provide greater reliability for our customers.”
Gary Pryke, Regional CEO – North Europe, comments: “Achieving GDP WeCare certification is a major milestone for our healthcare logistics strategy. It reflects our investment in high-quality systems, our talented teams, and ability to safeguard the supply chains of life-saving pharmaceuticals and medical products.”
Rafael Ueltschi, Regional CEO North America - USA & CA also adds: “We are proud to announce the rollout of our GDP WeCare Program in Chicago, marking another major milestone for Röhlig USA within our Healthcare & Life Science solutions. With Chicago now fully GDP WeCare-certified, we strengthen our commitment to delivering the highest standards of service to our customers. This achievement reflects the dedication of our team and signals an exciting next step in expanding our Healthcare & Life Science solutions across North America, with more stations set to achieve certification in the coming months.”
