Global logistics operator, Dachser, is collaborating with Macopharma, a world leader in the production of blood collection and processing containers. Dachser provides logistics for all of the company’s finished products, meeting the high requirements associated with the transport and storage of medical devices.
The cooperation between Dachser and Macopharma has been ongoing since 2011. Macopharma is one of the largest European manufacturers of blood collection and processing container sets, leukocyte filters, and medical devices used in blood donation. It is also a key supplier of infusion fluids for inpatient care. The company has 5 factories (3 in France, one in Poland, and one in Tunisia) and employs 2,000 people. It has been operating in Poland for 8 years.
Dachser handles comprehensive logistics for the manufacturer’s finished products. It collects products from the plant in Wrocław and delivers them to its warehouse located in Nowa Wieś Wrocławska, by the A4 motorway. The warehouse handles the receipt and storage of goods subject to quality quarantine. The logistics operator’s employees handle order picking and dispatch, as well as production batch management. Dachser distributes Macopharma products to hospitals and blood donation centers located throughout Europe. Every month, Dachser delivers 5 million Macopharma products across Europe.
– We appreciate the trust that a company from the medical industry has placed in us by entrusting Dachser with the logistics of its products. For Macopharma, we organize difficult deliveries with inside placement, from the narrow streets of southern Andalusia to the foggy alleys of a hospital in Edinburgh – says Grzegorz Lichocik, President of Dachser in Poland.
The operator meets all strict requirements regarding the transport and storage of medical products, storing items at specific temperatures and humidity levels. The logistics operator’s processes have also successfully passed an internal quality audit by Macopharma.
– Our satisfaction with the cooperation is further enhanced by the fact that Dachser, by helping to deliver containers to blood donation centers, contributes indirectly to the development of blood donation in Poland – emphasizes President Lichocik.
