The company Movianto is a subsidiary of Owens & Minor and operates three logistics centers in Germany.

In 1882, the Owens & Minor Drug Company opened a pharmacy in Richmond , Virginia . It wasn't until the 1950s that the company began to grow strongly when the Bodeker Drug Company was acquired in 1954 with sales of three million US dollars. Owens & Minor had a turnover of five million dollars at that time. In the same year, the merged company Owens, Minor & Bodeker (OMB) put its first IBM computer into operation, which was used to automate order processing. With the acquisition of the company A&J Hospital Supply in 1966, expansion into the field of supplying hospitals with medicines and surgical instruments followed. Owens & Minor shares have been listed on the NYSE since 1988 .
