    Swisslog Healthcare acquires Talyst

    Swisslog Healthcare, a supplier of medication supply chain solutions and services, has acquired Talyst Systems, a market leader in pharmacy automation solutions for hospitals and long-term care facilities. Healthcare providers around the world share similar challenges with delivering medications safely and efficiently. The acquisition creates an unmatched portfolio of inpatient and outpatient pharmacy solutions that transform health systems’ performance. Talyst’s AutoCarousel, AutoPack and AutoSecure Storage Solutions represent the best-of-breed in current generation pharmacy automation technologies.

    “Swisslog Healthcare and Talyst are well known for developing innovative automation and software solutions,” said Stephan Sonderegger, CEO – Swisslog Healthcare. “The two companies share a similar mission and vision and the Talyst portfolio of enterprise software and pharmacy automation products completes Swisslog Healthcare’s pharmacy automation offering in North America. This acquisition adds critical components to our solutions strategy of providing customers with end-to-end integration for the medication supply chain across the continuum of care.”

    Founded in 2002, Talyst was recognized by KLAS Research’s most recent (2016) Pharmacy Report as a leader in Enterprise Medication Management Software that minimizes medication spending. “Talyst develops customer-centric technologies that enable providers to deliver better patient care. Our culture of innovation and accountability aligns well with Swisslog Healthcare,” notes Carla Corkern, Talyst CEO. “With Swisslog we can now scale our solutions globally, taking advantage of their sales reach, manufacturing, and R&D facilities across North America, EMEA and Asia. We’re excited to be part of a strong and dedicated organization building towards an important differentiated vision for health systems and hospital pharmacies.”

    “Swisslog Healthcare and Talyst customers will benefit from a total inpatient pharmacy automation offering fully integrated with the Swisslog transport automation portfolio of pneumatic tube systems installed in 2,300 hospitals in North America. The acquisition expands our product offerings which, combined with our manufacturing expertise and extensive field service network, gives health systems unprecedented access to a complete solution including data analytics, pharmacy automation and transport automation,” notes Sonderegger. “Our respective customers will benefit from a compelling technology and services road map that leverages the extensive resources and capabilities of the combined companies.”

    With the acquisition, the Talyst executive team along with the rest of the company will join the Swisslog Healthcare organization. Talyst CEO and Chairman of the Board, Carla Corkern, has elected to pursue other opportunities. The Talyst Seattle-area headquarters will become an important technology, product and business development hub for Swisslog Healthcare North America. Swisslog Healthcare is building a new state-of-the-art North America manufacturing facility and US headquarters in the Denver-Boulder area, which is planned for occupation in early 2018.

    Swisslog launches latest intralogistics innovations

    Intralogistics provider, Swisslog, is expanding the capabilities of the business by reinforcing its presence in France. The global provider of robotic and data-driven intralogistics solutions have customers which include Unilever, Coca-Cola, Pfizer and Walmart. Already having a well-established presence within the French materials handling market from its base in Paris, Swisslog has historically focused on healthcare related applications. Building on its success since becoming part of the KUKA Group, the company is now investing in the delivery of materials handling technologies to the French intralogistics market.

    Managing director of Swisslog WDS in France and the Benelux, Peter De Henau, believes now is the best time to expand in the French warehouse and distribution sector. Says De Henau: “We are delighted to be strengthening our presence in this vital European market. Together with KUKA, we are looking forward to opening the next chapter of Industry 4.0. Our latest innovations and proven technologies are testament to the support Swisslog can offer businesses in France to help them grow smart with their intralogistics.”

    Edin del Mar is the latest to join De Henau’s growing team as business development manager for Swisslog WDS in France. Joining Swisslog from Savoye, del Mar will play an integral part in expanding the provider’s presence in the country.

    “I am really pleased to be joining Swisslog at this exciting time,” says del Mar. “Swisslog is ready to offer the widest and smartest portfolio of automated intralogistics technologies and services to the French market and is investing heavily in bringing in a new era of innovations alongside its proven solutions portfolio. Having launched multiple solutions such as ACPaQ, PowerStore and SynQ this year alone, I am excited to be working with solutions that many leading global brands are already benefiting from.”

    Swisslog offers proven solutions, including the popular AutoStore and CarryPick technologies, to businesses looking to expand or simply take their first steps into automated warehousing, and the firm’s expansion is already accelerating with the first CarryPick solution being installed for a retailer in the Northern French region.

    “Our technologies may be innovative but our approach is fairly straightforward,” adds Peter De Henau. “While we eradicate risk and inefficiencies for customers by delivering new or adapted solutions, it often takes face-to-face discussions to really demonstrate the range of opportunities we can offer. That’s why it’s great to have a local presence in this key European market.”
    “Every single customer is important at Swisslog and we pride ourselves on providing a tailored approach,” concludes De Henau. “Businesses looking to connect their warehouse to the future can arrange a visit to see our technology in action via www.swisslog.com/solutions-automatisees.”

    Swisslog designs, develops and delivers best-in-class automation solutions for forward-thinking warehouses and distribution centers. The company offers integrated systems and services from a single source – from consulting to design, implementation and lifetime customer service. Behind its growing success are 2,300 employees worldwide, supporting customers in more than 50 countries.
