Vernacare - Owens and Minor Strategic Partnership

Mutually Beneficial & Customer Focused

Always looking for ways to improve our service delivery to our clients, Vernacare is excited to announce our new "expanded warehousing relationship" with OM Healthcare Logistics (OM HCL) effective June 15th, 2009.

This arrangement will reduce transit time for both regular and rush orders. OM HCL, a fullservice third-party logistics (3PL) provider of end-to-end supply chain solutions, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, will provide Vernacare with warehousing and delivery services from their new facility in Louisville, Kentucky.

"OM HCL expands our commitment to supply chain management excellence by providing

Vernacare with a more efficient and cost-effective way to distribute its products to its customers.

We have a strong commitment to support the well-being of the communities we serve, and that includes protecting the environment. Distributing a "green" product to healthcare customers at a lower cost enables us to contribute to protecting the environment - and we believe that this is good business."  Craig Smith, President & CEO, Owen & Minor

"Our motivation in pursuing this initiative was to enhance service levels, control freight costs and mitigate risk from a disaster management perspective. We are excited to be working with OM HCL on this mutually beneficial, customer-focused warehousing solution." Timothy Emo, V.P. North America, Vernacare
