Healthcare Logistics Re-brands to Movianto UK
Stuttgart/Germany, 27 September 2007
Healthcare Logistics, part of the Movianto Group, the logistics
and distribution business unit of Celesio AG, has today
been renamed as Movianto UK. With 30 years experience trading
as Healthcare Logistics, the change is part of the overall
business strategy of strengthening the market presence of
Movianto across all European markets by establishing one
strong international brand.
Movianto is the UK's market leader in specialist healthcare
logistics and distribution. It combines local market expertise
and knowledge with cross-border supply chain efficiency
for companies operating in the pharmaceutical and healthcare
market.
The Movianto Group handles over 400 international customers,
including the ten largest pharmaceutical companies in the
world. The range of services includes storage, transportation,
cool chain logistics and management, as well as customer-specific
services, such as re-packaging or re-labeling.
Peter Bradford, Managing Director of Movianto UK commented:
"The pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors are dominated
by international manufacturers operating across international
borders. These manufacturers are increasingly seeking likeminded
and similarly structured organisations to take on responsibility
for managing their logistics and distribution. As part of
the Movianto Group, Movianto within the UK is ideally placed
to provide this service. The move to a single name and identity
communicates the fact to the market that regardless of whether
operating in the UK or in mainland Europe, Movianto can
provide a consistent level of service, expertise and quality
from a single source".
Managing in excess of 1 million items each day, Movianto
delivers approximately 40% of Britain's domestic pharmaceutical
products. It is the only healthcare logistics provider that
can deliver to every hospital, wholesaler, pharmacy and
GP practice every day. The UK facilities provide Movianto
clients with over 30,000m² of warehousing space, all
of which is MHRA approved for the storage and distribution
of both ambient and chilled pharmaceuticals.
