Cosmos Health Inc. announced on November 5, 2026 that its wholly owned pharmaceutical distribution subsidiary, CosmoFarm S.A., is commissioning automated order-processing and vehicle-loading infrastructure at its distribution centre in Peristeri, western Athens. The equipment is intended to move pharmacy orders through the facility and onto delivery vehicles more quickly.

#Order-processing and vehicle-loading systems

The order-processing installation includes an automated handling cell supplied by a roller conveyor. Engineers are configuring and testing the equipment at the site, where it is intended to automate the handling of orders before dispatch.

CosmoFarm has also installed multiple rows of inclined roller flow lanes for moving completed orders onto delivery vehicles. The company says the combined systems are designed to reduce processing and loading times, allowing vehicles to leave earlier and supporting earlier deliveries to pharmacies.

Cosmos Health expects to report operational results after the infrastructure is fully operational.

#CosmoFarm’s reported operating scale

CosmoFarm had reached a previously disclosed annualized revenue run-rate of over $60 million based on second-quarter 2026 revenue, with the company saying momentum continued into the third quarter. The run-rate is calculated from second-quarter 2026 revenue and takes into account third-quarter 2026 results. The figures are based on management data, are preliminary and unaudited, and the annualized run-rate is not a forecast.

CosmoFarm serves approximately 360 pharmacies daily within a network of more than 1,500. Cosmos Health says the faster systems are expected to create capacity to add more pharmacies to established routes at limited incremental cost.

#Revenue capacity remains a management estimate

Cosmos Health believes that CosmoFarm’s platform could support over $120 million in annual revenue through its investments in robotics, automation and artificial intelligence, including the new infrastructure.

The company describes this figure as a management estimate based on current expectations. It says actual results may differ materially. The announcement also notes that expected improvements and revenue capacity are management estimates, while U.S. dollar figures reflect changes in the euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate.

#Proposed acquisition remains conditional

CosmoFarm has an active letter of intent covering the potential acquisition of a distribution network with approximately €10 million (approximately $11.3 million) in annual gross revenue. The target is owned by an established pharmaceutical company that has served the Greek market for almost 40 years.

The transaction remains subject to a definitive agreement and customary closing conditions, and Cosmos Health stated that there can be no assurance it will be completed. If completed, the acquisition would be CosmoFarm’s largest acquisition to date.

The proposed transaction forms part of CosmoFarm’s consolidation strategy in Greece’s fragmented pharmaceutical wholesale market. Since 2019, the subsidiary has completed multiple bolt-on acquisitions of regional distribution networks and integrated their customers onto its automated platform.

#Automation programme and identified risks

Cosmos Health said the Peristeri installations are part of a multi-year programme involving robotics, automation and artificial intelligence. Its forward-looking statements remain subject to risks including financing needs, the timing, cost and completion of planned capital investments, foreign exchange movements, legal and regulatory changes, international operating challenges and the completion of potential transactions.

The company said forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results could differ materially from its expectations.
