McKesson Europe

McKesson Europe is a leading pharmaceutical distribution and retail company that provides logistics and healthcare services across the European market. Originally founded as Gehe & Co. and later known as Celesio, the company was acquired by the American healthcare giant McKesson Corporation in 2014. It operated a vast network of pharmacies under the LloydsPharmacy brand and wholesale operations through GEHE and OCP. In 2022, McKesson divested the majority of its European operations to the PHOENIX Group as part of a strategic shift to focus on its North American business. The company played a critical role in the European healthcare supply chain, serving millions of patients and thousands of pharmacies daily.
