13 Clinical Supply Logistics Companies Operating in Europe in 2026

Getting an investigational drug, comparator, lab kit, or piece of trial equipment from a manufacturer to a patient, on time and within specification, is a distinct operational discipline from running the trial itself. A clinical supply logistics provider might specialize in temperature-controlled courier services, comparator drug sourcing, customs and import/export compliance, printed trial documentation, or equipment rental, and a given European trial often needs several of these capabilities working together across multiple national regulatory regimes.

The clinical supply logistics companies below, headquartered across the UK, France, Ukraine, Israel, Luxembourg, and Italy, are listed in no particular order. Between them, these companies and providers cover cold chain and cryogenic courier services, comparator sourcing, customs compliance and importer/exporter of record services, clinical trial equipment rental, and clinical document management.

Biocair

Biocair is a GDP-compliant logistics specialist with more than 35 years of experience moving temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and cell and gene therapy materials across more than 160 countries. Founded in Cambridge, England in 1987 and acquired as an autonomous division of Geopost in 2012, the company built a dedicated cell and gene therapy logistics team to handle the specialized cryogenic packaging and real-time tracking these advanced therapies require. Biocair's network spans Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas, and the company has contributed to industry standards work including ISO 21973 for the transportation of cells used in therapy.

Based in Willington, England, the company added a dedicated Early Access Programs division in 2018 and has since sold its original clinical development business to focus on clinical trial supply and early access work. In May 2025, Bionical Emas signed an exclusive global clinical trial supply agreement with Pharma Resources, a German oncology generics manufacturer, to distribute key EU-marketed oncology injectables including fluorouracil during a period of European shortages.

Theradis Pharma

Theradis Pharma runs its clinical trial logistics operations from a 1,500-square-meter facility between the Sophia Antipolis technology park and Nice's international airport, split between dedicated pharmaceutical and biological sample buildings.
