About Us

Founded in 1984, Mercury has been providing clients with comprehensive logistics services for over 40 years. Our mission is to simplify healthcare and life science shipping, allowing companies to avoid stress and save time. Our area of focus is time and temperature-sensitive shipping for healthcare and life sciences companies, including medical devices, diagnostic testing kits, and biotechnology companies.

Clients choose Mercury because we offer all shipping options in one place, and no matter how small an organization is, Mercury provides each client with a dedicated client support team (we call them squads) that offers individual attention to every shipment. With Mercury, you can speak with a real person right away; we answer our phones and respond quickly to all requests.

Values and Culture at Mercury

With a busy schedule and high aspirations, it can be challenging to manage shipping logistics.

We specialize in certain industries and have developed a system specifically tailored to meet your time-sensitive and temperature-sensitive needs.

Band-Aids and Stitches

We solve problems both in the moment and for the long term. Quick fixes (Band-Aids) keep things moving, but we always follow up with structural solutions (stitches) to prevent repeat issues.
