Always in Control. Secure and Seamless Trial Logistics

Storage and distribution are the backbone of every clinical supply chain. We ensure that your materials are stored safely, handled compliantly, and delivered where they’re needed, on schedule and in optimal condition. From temperature-controlled storage to site-specific delivery strategies, our services adapt to your study phase, product type, and regional requirements.

Clinical trials demand precision, speed, and tight control. This is especially true for sensitive materials. Our infrastructure and team are built for this. We manage your materials in GDP/GMP facilities with 24/7 monitoring, advanced tracking, and regulatory controls. Whether it’s biologics, gene therapies, or narcotics, our logistics provide end-to-end visibility and consistent execution across trial sites. Our decentralized network of affiliates and partners means we deliver where trials need it most, locally and on schedule.

About Storage and Distribution

Clinical trial materials, from investigational products (IMPs) to cold-chain biologics, require precise handling and logistics strategies. Delays or deviations can jeopardize timelines, budgets, and data integrity. Our Storage and Distribution services are engineered for this reality. We operate GDP/GMP-certified depots across continents, manage third-country imports for IMPs, offer validated temperature control from ambient to ultra-deep freeze, and deliver to sites through tailored models such as Direct-to-Site and Direct-to-Patient. Whether your study is centralized or regionally dispersed, we deliver compliance, continuity, and speed. This helps keep your study on track from first shipment to final patient dose.
