Legacy Pharmaceutical Packaging has purchased a 215,000-sq.-ft. open-space facility to provide wide-scale third-party logistics and distribution services. Located near the company’s headquarters in the St. Louis, MO, the building will extend Legacy’s capabilities for OTC and Rx and bring the company’s total footprint to more than 500,000 sq.-ft.

The company plans to divide the open-design building into dedicated departments, including those comprising new SKU handling and artwork, a retail management team for real-time inventory monitoring and reordering, an automated oversight initiative to help ensure quality and price competitiveness with enhanced efficiencies, and a warehousing and shipping wing to finalize and deliver finished products.

For Rx products, expanded 3PL offerings will include an inventory portal, charge-back system, a serialization suite and a returns processing department for an optimized process for manufacturers, packaging suppliers and retailers.

Legacy will use the extra space to transition its existing labeling cage, currently located at its nearby primary manufacturing plant, to its new annex, that will allow for just-in-time labels delivery.
