Ontime Courier rebrands as Life Couriers

Munich, Germany (28 April 2025) – Leading international logistics provider Ontime Courier is rebranding as Life Couriers, marking a significant milestone in expanding its global presence, particularly in the European market. Ontime Courier has been part of the Life Couriers Group since 2017. The rebrand enhances the company’s expertise in healthcare logistics and further extends its specialized services, particularly in the transportation of biopharmaceutical and life science samples and the organization of stem cell transplant transports.

Since its foundation in 1995, Ontime Courier has specialized in national and international overnight and express shipments, developing a strong core competence in the life science sector. With 30 years of experience in delivering critical shipments with precision and reliability, the company has built a reputation for flexibility, confidentiality, and exceptional customer service. Now, as Life Couriers, it will leverage the group’s extensive network and innovative logistics solutions to further enhance its service offerings.

“The transition from Ontime Courier to Life Couriers is a logical evolution of our business,” said Stefan Glebke, CEO of Life Couriers. “It represents the tangible result of our companies coming together, combining decades of expertise to deliver solutions that matter to our clients and their time-critical needs. It’s about streamlining operations and building on the trust we’ve developed over the years.”

Operating a global shipping logistics system from its headquarters in Munich, Ontime Courier maintains a reliability rate above the industry average. Its proprietary infrastructure and exclusive agency partnerships in key global hubs ensure seamless transportation. Customers benefit from real-time shipment tracking, 24/7 availability, and a dedicated service team.

“As part of Life Couriers, we are now in an even stronger position to support our customers with tailored logistics solutions that meet the highest industry standards,” said Volker Kirchner, Managing Director of Ontime Courier. “Our customers can continue to rely on the same level of service excellence, with the added benefit of enhanced global capabilities and innovative transport solutions.”

Ontime Couriers’ offerings and services will continue as known under the new name, and all Ontime Couriers’ positions will be retained.
