Distribution and logistics: Your global clinical trial supply chain partner
Ensuring the integrity and accessibility of your IMPs
From strict temperature requirements to diverse regulatory landscapes and the need for specialized handling, distributing your investigational medicinal products (IMPs) across international borders is a complex process.
We understand the unique logistical challenges you face as you conduct clinical trials in the EU and globally.
Our extensive global network, combined with our expertise in temperature-controlled transportation and regulatory compliance, ensures that your IMPs reach their destination on time and in optimal condition.
Specialized storage solutions
Ambient (15°C to 25°C):
For medications and materials requiring controlled room temperature storage, such as those derived from chemical synthesis
Cold (2°C to 8°C):
For refrigerated products
Freezer (-80°C to -80°C):
For materials that require freezing for preservation
Cryostorage (-196°C):
For ultra-low temperature storage of specialized therapies (such as cell and gene therapies)
Uncompromising quality and compliance
We meticulously handle all investigational drugs in accordance with good distribution practice (GDP) and good clinical practice (GCP) guidelines.
Our robust quality management system (QMS) is certified to ISO 9001:2015 and GMP standards, ensuring quality throughout the storage and distribution process.
Our Qualified Persons (QP) ensure that all IMPs arriving in the EU undergo the necessary release process, a mandatory requirement under EU regulations.
If there is no Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) between the manufacturing country and the EU, we perform batch testing to ensure quality and compliance

Our global distribution network ensures the timely and secure delivery of your IMPs to clinical trial sites, hospitals, health centers, pharmacies, and patient homes worldwide.
Leverage our strategic warehouse locations and partnerships with national and international courier companies to optimize your delivery times and costs.
