The Customer’s Challenge
Dr. Reddy’s needed to have a reliable supply chain solution through Switzerland in order to expand business from the production site in Spain to Romania.

This branch had to be certified by Swissmedic, the Swiss authority for supervision and authorization of therapeutic products.
