Glenmark were looking to reduce delivery lead times to their UK customer base, whilst maintaining stringent quality standards for their high-quality generics and specialty products.
The Yusen Logistics solution is based at the company’s 15,000m2 GDP-compliant, MHRA-licenced warehousing facility at Grange Park (Northampton, UK).
The facility provides a high security environment, being both AEO-approved and TAPA-compliant.

Maximising availability of stock, whilst minimising risk in the supply chain are driving demand.”
