Marken has expanded its network of qualified third party service providers and customs brokers to reinforce its infrastructure and prepare for a significant increase in drug, vaccine, API and additional shipment volume.   
 
To prepare for the rapid increase in volume and shipment complexity expected in the coming months, new providers have been qualified in the U.S., Ukraine, Russia, Italy, Peru and Brazil. This follows significant changes made in 2015 in Mexico, Taiwan, Japan and China.  The company has also increased warehouse and storage capacity in Frankfurt, Brussels, and Zurich and has completed a consolidation of its operations at John F. Kennedy airport in January.  
 
“We are excited to announce the strengthening of our worldwide logistics network,” said Wes Wheeler, Marken’s chief executive officer, “The market is growing and we are growing with it. The rapid increase in the use of biologic drug and temperature-sensitive products, cell & gene therapies and direct to patient logistic demands from clients are providing us a unique opportunity to qualify new service providers and enforce our stringent GDP requirements on our network.  At the same time, we are expanding our warehouse capacity in cities where we see demand and are staying ahead of the curve. Our focus will always be on the client and their needs, and to remain flexible in all circumstances.”
