Founded in 2005, the Radio Pharma Logistics Group (RLG) brought together pioneering companies in the radiopharmaceutical logistics sector: ISOVital in France, ISOLife in France, and Isotopes Services International (ISI) in Belgium.

Over the following decades, RLG established itself as the European specialist for the transport of highly time-sensitive and regulated radiopharmaceutical and isotope materials, offering next-day and same-day solutions for nuclear medicine, research and industry.

Today, the same team, drivers and facilities continue under the Life Couriers name. Strengthened by a global network, they continue their mission to serve patients through critical radiopharma deliveries.
