The medical arm of distributor Packaging House has won an $8 million contract to supply GSB Supplycorp with its products. PHL Medical will supply high volume medical products such as tissues, hygiene, continence, dressings, syringes, needles, IV therapy and fluids.
PHL medical manager John McConnell said the business aimed to bring competition to the medical supply market, which had so far seen very little.
"With healthcare costs escalating daily, our customers have been asking us to carry a range of medical consumables," he said.
"We anticipate that our launch will be welcomed by primary care providers. Not only because PHL Medical will draw on the strong warehousing, distribution and branch network that has been well established by Packaging House, but also because with our partner GSB Supplycorp, we are able to supply the highest quality products available at extremely competitive rates."
GSB Supplycorp chief executive Peter Royle said PHL Medical had offered the most competitive pricing.
