New distribution models for international pharmaceutical
companies
Movianto Strengthens Pharmaceutical Logistics Network in
Europe
Stuttgart/Germany, 27 September 2007
The Movianto Group provides pharmaceutical manufacturers
with extensive logistics services throughout Europe. Movianto,
one of the leading European providers of distribution and
logistics services for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology
and healthcare industry, completed the renaming of its nine
subsidiaries in September. The group will now continue to
build its European logistics network exclusively under the
Movianto brand.
Pharmaceutical companies are faced with growing logistical
challenges, and Movianto is expanding its European network
to meet them: from warehousing to deliveries to wholesalers,
pharmacies and patients the company provides individual
solutions for each product. "New products call for
innovative distribution options," explained Conor Roche,
Managing Director, Movianto Group. "Our European infrastructure
is designed to let us tailor solutions for our clients."
New and alternative distribution models such as direct deliveries
to pharmacies and hospitals are in great demand, especially
for niche pharmaceuticals or biotechnological products.
"In such cases, the supply chain must ensure in-time
international delivery," Conor Roche pointed out. "In
all our wholly owned subsidiaries, we can guarantee the
highest quality standards - throughout Europe."
Specialist Services like postponement are in great demand:
Movianto manages country- and market-specific product adaptation
to help pharmaceutical companies respond flexibly to the
market demand. Movianto stores basic products without country-specific
labelling and customises deliveries according to the demand
and local specifications once incoming orders have been
received.
Movianto applies uniform quality standards in all countries
to ensure prompt deliveries to wholesalers, pharmacies,
physicians, hospitals, dentists and nursing homes as well
as to other parties in the health care market. All its warehouses
are ISO 9001:2000-certified, and Movianto Prince, a central
IT platform, provides complete process transparency. The
company maintains warehouse space totalling around 160,000
pallet locations throughout Europe.
Movianto's European network has grown steadily in recent
years, adding logistics specialists in Austria, the Czech
Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Spain
and United Kingdom to the group. Throughout Europe, customers
can rely on Movianto as a reliable partner for their entire
supply chain, from warehousing, transport and cool chain
logistics to administrative services, as well as customer-specific
requirements such as individual packaging and labelling.
