New logistics centre secures pharmaceutical supply in Switzerland
Spirig HealthCare has inaugurated its new logistics centre in Wangen an der Aare. The pharmaceutical company specialising in generics wants to increase storage capacity and make distribution more flexible here.
Spirig HealthCare AG has opened a new logistics centre in Wangen an der Aare, the Egerkingen-based pharmaceutical company specialising in generics announced in a press release. The 2600 square metre facility houses over 2000 picking stations as well as refrigerated and special warehouses. The amount of the investment, which has already created eight new jobs, is not disclosed in the press release.
Spirig HealthCare intends to use the new logistics centre to increase its own storage capacities and make distribution more flexible. If necessary, medicines can be delivered to any location in Switzerland within a few hours using the company’s own fleet, the company writes.
“Providing a reliable basic supply of important medicines in Switzerland is our core mission,” said Hans-Peter Borger, General Manager of Spirig HealthCare, in the press release. “With targeted investments in our own storage capacities, we are ensuring that we can fulfil this requirement. The new logistics centre stands for flexibility, speed and sustainable distribution – and is our clear commitment to security of supply.”
