GlobalMed Logistix to Open Western U.S. Hub

GlobalMed Logistix (GMLx) is opening a new facility in Salt Lake City later this year to establish a bi-coastal medtech distribution and logistics network. The new plant marks GMLx’s first major expansion since becoming a standalone company earlier this year with the support of strategic healthcare investor Water Street Healthcare Partners.

A burgeoning medtech hub anchored by a strong life sciences ecosystem, Salt Lake City adds a strategic location to GMLx’s facilities network. Scheduled to open in October, the 75,000-square-foot facility is located in Raceway Commerce Center near Salt Lake City International Airport. It will support medtech manufacturers with specialized services, including inventory management, order fulfillment, surgical tray and kit assembly, warehousing, reverse logistics, quality control, and tissue storage and distribution.

“Our customers do some of the most demanding work in healthcare, and they count on us to deliver every product to the right place at the right time, every time,” GMLx President/Chief Operating Officer Scott Vane, who led the expansion initiative. “A bi-coastal network sharpens our speed, reliability, and precision, which brings us closer to the healthcare customers and patients our partners ultimately serve.”

The Salt Lake City facility extends a national network that currently supports global orthopedic, spine, cardiovascular, and dental manufacturers across the United States. GMLx has signed a long-term lease on the new facility and is customizing the build-out to its operational specifications.

“As medtech innovation accelerates and surgical care becomes more complex, manufacturers want a logistics partner that can scale with them,” GMLx CEO Patrick Daly stated. “Opening our new facility in Salt Lake City extends our national reach, deepens our support for existing customers, and opens the door for the next generation of medtech manufacturers looking for a partner built specifically for surgical logistics.”

GMLx will be actively recruiting for jobs at the Salt Lake City facility in the next several months.
