About Nettle

Nettle S.A., established in 2006, operates as a key service provider in the Polish healthcare market, specializing in comprehensive solutions for pharmaceutical and medical equipment manufacturers. Initially focused on financial services and receivables management, the company pivoted in 2014 to concentrate on direct distribution to pharmacies and hospitals. The current management board includes Rafał Sebastian Blum and Paweł Andrzej Szewczyk.

The company's business model is centered on providing end-to-end support for its clients, covering the entire distribution process. This includes sales support, order processing, warehousing, transportation, and financial settlement services. Nettle serves a wide range of clients from pharmaceutical and medical equipment manufacturers to pharmacies and hospitals across Poland. Revenue is generated by offering these integrated services, which streamline the supply chain for their partners. The company has steadily grown, reporting total assets of 198.3 million PLN in 2024.

A cornerstone of Nettle's service offering is its proprietary eDTP.pl platform, launched in 2019. This online portal allows pharmacies to place orders directly from manufacturers 24/7, and provides pharmacists with access to market news and educational resources. The logistics division, Nettle Pharma, operates a pharmaceutical wholesaler in Warsaw and a modern Pharmaceutical Centre in Sieradz, ensuring nationwide delivery within 24 hours. Their transportation network is compliant with Good Distribution Practice, handling products in controlled temperature environments, including a cold chain for vaccines and a frozen chain utilizing dry ice.
