Europharm, the distribution arm of UK drug company GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), has integrated its operations by opening a new logistics platform in Chitila, near Bucharest, in a move designed to streamline sales of drugs.

The new platform was set up by expanding the existing deposit in Chitila and will integrate the warehouses in Brasov and Bucharest.

Margareta Mares, general manager, Europharm Distributie, said: “It is very important, given the current backdrop, that that the products we distribute will be available faster for sale in our deposits, thus increasing the access of patients to treatments.

The new center, spanning 6,400sqm, will handle both logistics operations for direct distribution and specific logistics services for partners and suppliers.

The direct distribution division has a portfolio of 3,500 products and covers 5,500 working points such as pharmacy chains and hospitals across Romania.
