“I am truly delighted with this new venture as it ensures the continuation of what we have built over the last 15 years,” said Richard Philippe (pictured), founder of Logi-D. “We have great respect for the Tecsys brand and what they have accomplished in the healthcare sector. We share a common goal of bringing proven industrial supply chain best practices to healthcare.
“We initially approached Tecsys to explore how we might work together to expand the value of each other’s offering, which eventually resulted in this transaction. We look forward to working together with Tecsys’ employees and customers as we collaborate in our ongoing growth efforts.”
Mr. Philippe has accepted the position of Vice President, Healthcare Solutions, assuming responsibility of Tecsys’ portfolio of solutions in the healthcare sector. This will include Logi-D’s iD-SUITE of solutions, now an integral component of the Tecsys offering.
