In a significant move to bolster its healthcare logistics capabilities, United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS) announced on Thursday its plans to acquire Andlauer Healthcare Group Inc. (AHG) for a staggering $1.6 billion. This acquisition underscores UPS's commitment to expanding its global portfolio of end-to-end cold chain solutions, catering to the growing demand for temperature-controlled and precision logistics in the healthcare sector.
