Pharmaceutical/Healthcare

The Background

Continued growth forced a major Scotland-based pharmaceutical company to re-evaluate its pharmaceutical warehousing capacity requirements and business processing priorities.
The client's immediate response was to outsource the project to KC Group Shipping. A rapid solution was key as the client's current facility was over-stacked resulting in product mis-picks and unnecessary product handling.

The Challenge

The client required a reliable logistics partner who could offer storage and warehousing facilities with the necessary security and quality certificates for high value pharmaceutical product storage.

It was imperative that the facility offered one central temperature and humidity controlled storage room with an additional smaller ambient storage area.
The immediate challenge was to locate and secure state-of-the-art temperature-controlled expandable warehousing facilities with sophisticated equipment, control of distribution growth and compliance with new industry regulatory mandates.

Twenty four days after initial instruction was received from our client, KC Group Shipping negotiated favourable lease terms covering a 30,000 square foot, pharmaceutical-compliant warehouse capable of almost immediate operation.
