Legacy companies
Our legacy company Aktiv-Trans and their integration into the Life Couriers group.
Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Bad Oeynhausen, Germany, Aktiv-Trans built its reputation as a specialist logistics provider for the transportation of radiopharmaceuticals and other class 7 radioactive materials.
From its early days as a dedicated transport operator, Aktiv-Trans grew steadily into a trusted partner for major radionuclide manufacturers and university hospitals nationwide. Operating around the clock, 365 days a year, the company offered express courier services for time-critical radioactive materials used in nuclear medicine.
Today, the same team, drivers and facilities continue under the Life Couriers name, strengthened by a global customer base, expanded worldwide logistics network, and a continued commitment to advancing nuclear medicine through reliable, trusted transportation.
