Following the globalisation of the pharma industry

Pharma companies moving their manufacturing operations outside Europe and to other continents have led to more long distance deliveries

The pharmaceutical industry has been changing profoundly in the last decade. Intensive globalisation, increased competitiveness and the fight for global market shares create new challenges for pharmaceutical companies. Fast globalisation definitively reinforces the consolidation of the world pharmaceutical industry. Alliancing in forms of mergers and acquisitions prevail more and more to assure sustainable growth, development programmes and business competitiveness for the world pharmaceutical companies.

CurTec has been following the globalisation trend for years. Pharma companies moving their manufacturing operations outside Europe and to other continents have led to more long distance deliveries. Also CurTec’s efforts to penetrate the global pharma market have been effective and lead to many new global delivery destinations.

Following this trend not only required a change in logistical organisation, it has also led to the development of new, sustainable and more cost-effective packaging products: packaging that takes up less space during transport and makes reuse more attractive.

Global companies like Merck, Pfizer, Patheon and Sanofi are using nestable drums and containers in operations worldwide to pack and ship tablets and active ingredients. Besides having one secure global packaging source, the promise of receiving clean, safe and certified packaging also matters strongly.
