The Asklepios Kliniken Group has put another logistics hub into operation in Frankfurt am Main. Starting from the third quarter, this central location in Frankfurt-Fechenheim will play a key role in supplying the Asklepios clinics and facilities in the central region and temporarily in the southern region, according to a statement from the group on June 25.
