Menarini selects K+N to deliver consumer healthcare across Türkiye

Menarini, a leading international pharmaceutical company, has partnered with Kuehne+Nagel for distribution services of pharma goods across Türkiye.

Menarini will leverage Kuehne+Nagel’s experience in handling sensitive healthcare products and the local presence to secure the continuous availability of Menarini’s products, says an official release from Kuehne+Nagel.

"To ensure the availability and convenient access to healthcare products for patients, Kuehne+Nagel provides local road logistics solutions. These solutions include transporting approximately 3,500 full truckloads (FTLs) and around 800,000 parcels of less-than-truckloads (LCLs) of healthcare products between Menarini's warehouse in Hadımköy, Istanbul and wholesalers nationwide."

Additionally, Kuehne+Nagel will provide storage services for some of Menarini's non-healthcare-related goods, which equal approximately 300 pallet positions stored in the Gebze facility in Kocaeli, the release added.

"The product quality delivered to the end consumer, the patient, is a priority for Menarini," says Cenk Balcı, General Manager, Türkiye, Menarini. "We were looking for a logistics partner who can assure the integrity and safety of the products, timely and efficient distribution, and we knew we could put trust in Kuehne+Nagel's global experience in handling healthcare and consumer goods."

Matthias Blan, Managing Director, Türkiye, Kuehne+Nagel adds: "We are excited to support Menarini in delivering their healthcare products across Türkiye. Our experience in handling sensitive goods, backed by the network of best-in-class facilities equipped to provide optimal storing conditions, allows Menarini to focus on their growth whilst we take care of their complex distribution needs."

Kuehne+Nagel in Türkiye provides sea, air, road and project logistics services, and operates over 100,000 sq.m. of warehousing facilities with over 45,000 sq.m. dedicated to healthcare products.
