ASPE and NACEX renew their strategic alliance to enhance logistics efficiency in private healthcare

ASPE and NACEX, Logista’s express courier company, have formalised the renewal of their collaboration agreement, reaffirming a strategic alliance aimed at strengthening operational efficiency and the quality of logistics services in the private healthcare sector.

The renewal consolidates a relationship built on trust, specialisation and value creation for ASPE members, who represent more than 80% of private hospitals in Spain.

In an increasingly demanding healthcare environment, where traceability, safety and punctuality are critical factors, specialised logistics has become a strategic element in ensuring the continuity of care.

Luis Mendicuti, Secretary General of ASPE, highlighted that “the renewal of this agreement reflects our commitment to continuing to offer our members strategic partners that understand the complexity and sensitivity of the healthcare environment. NACEX’s proven experience in the transport of medical products, medicines, biological samples and clinical trial‑related materials provides clear added value in terms of reliability and service assurance.”

NACEX highlighted how this alliance reinforces its commitment to the healthcare sector, providing purpose‑built logistics solutions supported by strict quality standards, temperature control, technological innovation and advanced traceability. As part of Logista, NACEX has a solid operational structure and an extensive distribution network, addressing the needs of hospitals, clinics, laboratories and specialised centres.

“Healthcare operates in an environment where every shipment is critical and every minute counts. This is where NACEX places its full operational, technological and specialised capabilities at the service of healthcare centres. This collaboration allows us to continue working alongside ASPE on solutions that deliver safety, efficiency and added value for both professionals and patients,” said Xavier Calvo, Deputy CEO of NACEX.

The continuation of this agreement forms part of ASPE’s strategy to promote collaborations that deliver competitive advantages to its members, foster economies of scale and contribute to excellence in healthcare service delivery.

Both organisations recognise the importance of continuing to develop joint initiatives that anticipate sector challenges by incorporating innovation, efficiency and sustainability into logistics processes linked to healthcare activity.
