Speedy Response Characterizes The Relationship Between MD Logistics And A Major Pharmaceuticals Company

In April 1997 continued growth forced a major pharmaceuticals company to re-evaluate its North American warehouse capacity requirements and business processing priorities. Its immediate response was to consider outsourcing sales sample distribution or re-locating the process from its Midwest distribution center in Indiana to its East Coast operations in New Jersey.

The founders/owners of MD Logistics (who have worked closely with the pharmaceutical company’s logistics division since 1992) convinced the company that MDL’s rapid response capabilities were up to the task of securing environmentally-controlled facilities in Central Indiana. This effort would preclude the pharmaceuticals company from the costly disruption of an East Coast relocation.

Ten days after making the challenge, MDL had executed favorable lease terms for a 45,000-square-foot, pharmaceutical-compliant warehouse and begun receiving products.
