ABOUT US

Fair Logistics was founded in 2007 and started in Birmingham, Alabama with a focus in medical device logistics. This focus allowed us to learn the medical device supply chain to the extent our goal quickly became to be an indistinguishable extension of our clients. As we grew our footprint and expanded further in the healthcare industry, it became evident that we could provide our services to more than just medical device distributors and we quickly grew into the medical delivery field specializing in Orthopedics and surgical kits. This organic growth has created a strong base for our company to provide consistent, reliable, and cost-effective delivery solutions to our clients across the country.
