GLS targets pharmaceutical industry
Parcels and express company GLS aims to generate more business from the German pharmaceuticals industry. The Royal Mail subsidiary said that it will be exhibiting for the first time at the Expopharm trade fair in Munich from September 21-24 to gain new business contacts and promote its services.
“We offer 10 years of experience in the shipping of dental products, very high quality standards and industry-specific additional services,” explained Klaus Conrad, managing director of GLS Germany. “We are targeting growth of 20% this year in the pharmaceuticals sector.” GLS put particular focus on quality and secure transportation, with a damage rate of less than one item per 10,000 parcels, he added.
GLS Germany said it has already successfully doubled its volumes in the pharmaceuticals sector in the last two years. Export shipments, particularly to Austria and the Benelux states, had increased strongly. It now delivers to all 21,500 chemists across Germany.
The parcels company offers reliable delivery with rapid transit times, full tracking and tracing and inclusive insurance, along with additional services specifically for the pharmaceuticals industry such as the “Adressee Only” delivery option.
