Gefco is transporting around 1,000 medical beds weekly to destinations across Europe for Hillrom, a leading European manufacturer of medical devices and surgical equipment.

Gefco France has been managing urgent deliveries throughout Europe to help Hillrom cope with particularly high demand for medical beds and devices during the COVID-19 crisis.

Every week, a dedicated Gefco control tower in Rennes, France, coordinates and tracks deliveries of more than 1,000 beds, air mattresses and other accessories from Hillrom’s production plant in Pluvigner to medical centers, clinics and hospitals in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Gefco France has been working with Hillrom for several years, supplying its Pluvigner factory with parts and raw materials from France and other European countries. The multimodal provider also delivers demonstration medical devices from the factory to hospitals and retirement homes.
