Movianto: appetite comes with eating
Movianto, a service provider specialising in logistics for the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries and part of the Walden Group founded in France in 1951, wants to continue earning good money from the associated logistics services even after the global anti-pandemic measures have subsided.
Among other things, the company plans to develop further capacity for the storage and distribution of Covid-19 vaccines in UK and the Netherlands.
In 2021, Walden Group launched a triple-digit million investment programme to provide the necessary storage and transport capacity. Walden Group chairman Stéphane Baudry explains: "We have expansion and new construction projects at around 20 locations at the same time this year. The focus is on new logistics centres."
Last year, the company, which operates in eleven European countries, won its first government contracts to implement national logistics solutions for vaccine distribution in the Netherlands and UK. For example, the portfolio includes the centralised storage and picking of Covid-19 vaccines in the Netherlands in various temperature ranges from 2° to 8° through -20° to -76°.
At the same time, a temperature-controlled fine distribution of the vaccines was implemented nationwide via Walden's subsidiary Eurotranspharma, in line with the requirements of European good distribution practice (GDP). (sh)
