Our customer

Our client is a major global pharmaceutical group operating in the animal health sector. The company develops vaccines, medicines and health solutions in a regulatory environment that is particularly stringent due to its direct link with the food chain and human consumption.

Quality, traceability and safety standards are therefore non-negotiable across all production and logistics activities.

Context

The organisation sought to consolidate its upstream supply chain activities serving several production sites in France. While an existing logistics partnership was already in place, the objective was to centralise co-manufacturing and logistics operations under a single provider capable of meeting strict pharmaceutical standards.

Key challenges included:

  • Reception and sampling of pharmaceutical raw materials, including complex cleanroom operations

  • Labeling, storage and handling under controlled temperatures (15–25°C and 2–8°C)

  • Cleanroom-based production activities such as powder fractionation and dry weight assembly

  • Advanced quality control requirements, including Raman technology

  • Management of hazardous and pharmaceutical regulatory authorisations

The ambition was clear: create a centralised, compliant, and scalable co-manufacturing platform integrated within the logistics ecosystem.

Our contribution

  • #Warehousing
  • #Handling
  • #Storage

We deployed an integrated co-manufacturing and upstream logistics solution at a dedicated site near Lyon, France.

The scope included:

  • Management of raw materials, semi-finished products and complex equipment

  • Implementation of temperature-controlled storage environments

  • Creation of four versatile cleanrooms capable of performing both fractionation and assembly activities

  • Organisation of shipments and downstream flows

  • Acquisition of all necessary regulatory authorisations for pharmaceutical and hazardous products

The project was developed in close collaboration with our in-house engineering expertise to ensure the infrastructure met the highest pharmaceutical requirements.

By relocating operations to a larger and more adaptable site, we enabled greater operational agility and improved capacity to manage demand variability.
