Bringing Additional Capacity to the Life Sciences & Pharmaceuticals Market
Leading 3PL MD Logistics is dedicating more space to clients within these industries—converting half of their largest in-network facility into cGMP compliant, temperature-controlled warehouse space.
The Challenge
One industry that continues to experience rapid growth is the life sciences and pharmaceuticals industry. As more and more medications and therapies enter the market, the need for compliant warehouse space has never been greater.
After fielding requests from current and prospective clients, industry leading third-party logistics provider MD Logistics took the opportunity to dedicate more space to clients within these industries, converting half of their largest in-network facility into cGMP compliant, temperature-controlled warehouse space.
The Solution
MD Logistics operates six state-of-the-art facilities across their domestic U.S. network, four within Central Indiana. The largest of these facilities was selected to respond to industry needs for additional capacity.
The opportunity to convert this space, coupled with MD Logistics’ storied history within the life sciences and pharmaceuticals industry, made this solution an obvious choice.
Space Acquired
Even though warehouse space is in high demand, within the industry and in certain markets, it is in short supply. Once additional capacity can be acquired, there can be long lead times to build out the space to fit the needs of the client and the special environments that products within the life sciences and pharmaceuticals industries require.
The choice to convert an existing facility within the MD Logistics network not only alleviates a capacity strain on their clients and the industry, but the timeline to have the space ready for product was drastically reduced.
Through the conversion of this facility, approximately 200,000 square feet of general warehouse space will become a cGMP, pharmaceutical-grade environment.
This newly transitioned space will include 15-25°C and 2-8°C temperature-controlled environments, specifically designed to store pharmaceutical and medical device products.
Industry Experience
Products within the life sciences and pharmaceuticals industry require a great deal of oversight to ensure they remain safe for consumption by patients.
Temperature-sensitive medications must remain within strict temperature range throughout all levels of the supply chain, especially during order fulfillment, to remain compliant.
Having an understanding of these requirements and a strict attention to maintaining quality standards is of utmost importance for providers operating within the life sciences and pharmaceuticals industries.
MD Logistics has nearly 30 years of experience within these industries, proving to be a formidable partner within the industry.
