Swisslog Healthcare, a provider of pharmacy automation and transport solutions, has announced a strategic expansion of its operations in India as part of its broader growth plans across the Asia-Pacific region.

The company said the move is aimed at meeting rising demand for advanced pharmacy management and automation technologies as Indian hospitals expand capacity and accelerate digital transformation.

Headquartered in Gurugram, Swisslog Healthcare’s expanded presence in India is intended to bring its automation technologies closer to healthcare providers, supporting hospital and pharmacy operations with a focus on accuracy, traceability, medication safety, and operational efficiency.

The solutions are designed to support medication storage, dispensing, and transport processes within hospitals and pharmacies.

Swisslog Healthcare is strengthening its footprint across the Asia-Pacific region, with existing operations in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and India. The company said the India expansion aligns with its regional strategy to support healthcare systems facing increasing operational complexity and demand for automation-driven efficiency.

Commenting on the development, He PengHui, Managing Director, Swisslog Healthcare, Asia-Pacific, said India represents a rapidly evolving healthcare market where automation is becoming increasingly important to improve accuracy, efficiency, and patient experience. He added that the expansion marks a milestone in the company’s Asia-Pacific growth plans.

India is home to one of the world’s largest hospital networks and continues to invest in expanding healthcare infrastructure. Swisslog Healthcare noted that growing clinical demands and operational pressures are driving the need for intelligent automation solutions across hospital and pharmacy operations, particularly in areas such as medication management, logistics, and traceability.
