Plurima

What Plurima does

Plurima S.p.A. is an Italian outsourced services company specializing in integrated healthcare logistics and document management. Founded in 1982 in Umbria by Professor Tito Marconi, Plurima serves hospitals, regional health authorities (ASL/ASST/ULSS), public administration bodies, banks, insurance companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and telecoms across Italy through more than 35 branch offices and a workforce of over 800 people. The company's core offering bundles four operational pillars: healthcare logistics (pharmaceutical warehouse management, transport of biological samples, blood and blood components, vaccines, and home delivery), specialist health services (clinical risk management, telemonitoring, home assistance), document and information management (physical archive outsourcing, digitization, workflow management, hybrid mail, secure destruction), and proprietary software platforms (Pharmatools WMS/DMS, 4Tracking real-time vehicle tracking, Medtaker home drug delivery and remote monitoring, EDM-Turnazione shift scheduling, Posta Ibrida hybrid mail), developed largely in-house through its Bridge Technologies subsidiary and acquired capabilities from BluKappa and Log-Os.

Plurima's technology architecture combines centralized IT systems with real-time tracking infrastructure and IoT devices, enabling end-to-end traceability from suppliers to end patients, with a documented annual throughput of more than 50,000 deliveries and 11 million biological samples moved across Italy. The company is GDP-certified for pharmaceutical cold-chain logistics and holds an extensive compliance stack (ISO 9001, 27001, 14001, 45001, 37001, SA 8000, UNI PdR 125, AgID), positioning it to bid on regulated public procurement contracts. Group turnover exceeds €45 million annually.

The business model is managed-services led, with revenue generated from long-term outsourcing contracts and competitive public procurement tenders won through direct enterprise field sales. Plurima is controlled by the Marconi family (via Opus holding) with Poste Italiane S.p.A. as a strategic partner since March 2022 (replacing prior minority shareholder Siparex). The company is admitted to Borsa Italiana's ELITE program and has signaled consideration of a future IPO, while currently operating as a private S.p.A. with registered office in Milan and administrative headquarters in Corciano (Perugia).
