GlobalMed Logistix (GMLx), a specialized logistics partner to the medical device industry, plans to open a new facility in Salt Lake City, Utah, establishing a bi-coastal distribution and logistics network purpose-built for the medtech industry, including orthopedics. The move marks GMLx’s first major expansion since becoming a standalone company earlier this year with the backing of strategic healthcare investor Water Street Healthcare Partners.
Anchored by a strong life sciences ecosystem, Salt Lake City adds a strategic location to GMLx’s network of facilities. Scheduled to open in October 2026, the 75,000-square-foot facility will support medtech manufacturers with a suite of services including inventory management, order fulfillment, surgical tray and kit assembly, warehousing, reverse logistics, quality control, and tissue storage and distribution.
The Salt Lake City facility extends a national network that today supports leading global orthopedic, spine, cardiovascular and dental manufacturers across the United States. GMLx has signed a long-term lease on the new facility and is customizing the build-out to its operational specifications.
“As medtech innovation accelerates and surgical care becomes more complex, manufacturers want a logistics partner that can scale with them,” said Patrick Daly, CEO of GMLx. “Opening our new facility in Salt Lake City extends our national reach, deepens our support for existing customers and opens the door for the next generation of medtech manufacturers looking for a partner built specifically for surgical logistics.”
