Key Takeaways:
- Expanded Logistics Network – Siemens Healthineers is opening new depots in New Jersey and California, increasing US parts availability by nearly 30%.
- Improved Delivery Efficiency – Customers will have access to same-day delivery within 300 miles, later cutoff times, and additional next-flight-out options.
- Supply Chain Resilience – The expansion, in partnership with GXO, aims to safeguard healthcare providers from disruptions while improving sustainability through efficient deliveries.
Siemens Healthineers is increasing its US parts inventory and logistics capabilities with the opening of depots in Dayton, NJ (New York metro area) and Manteca, CA (Oakland metro area), increasing the availability of parts by nearly a third and offering delivery flexibility to its customers.
Working with GXO, a pure-play contract logistics provider, Siemens Healthineers is leasing new warehouse space in the two locations to supplement its existing depot in Memphis.
“Healthcare providers across the US count on us and our parts network for the equipment they need to give their patients exceptional care,” says David Pacitti, president and head of the Americas at Siemens Healthineers, in a release. “Any disruption to the availability of parts and supplies can be disastrous for providers and patients. By partnering with GXO, our parts network will further safeguard customers from supply-chain uncertainty.”
Healthcare supply chains have been under pressure since before the pandemic due to increasing global demand for goods and transport. Severe weather and geopolitical uncertainties have added urgency to maintaining a stable supply chain of parts and agile logistical support. In addition to its new depots, which the company says will help reduce environmental impact through efficient delivery, Siemens Healthineers has a network of US forward stocking locations close to its major customers.
“It’s an exciting time as we help Siemens Healthineers expand and speed up their parts network in the US and strengthen this critical infrastructure,” says Jorge Guanter, president, Americas and Asia Pacific, GXO, in a release. “Healthcare providers depend on vital equipment being readily available for their patients. By working together, we will make more products accessible and ordering easier with faster delivery when medical supplies are needed across the US without delay.”
Customers will benefit from later cutoff times, same-day delivery within 300 miles, and more next-flight-out options, according to the company.
GXO is currently providing warehousing and inventory management to Siemens Healthineers in New Jersey and plans to begin operations in California in early 2025.
