Furthering its commitment to satisfying a worldwide customer base, Bilcare Global Clinical Supplies, a leading single-source provider of clinical trial supplies and services, has substantially expanded its global distribution and warehousing capabilities for clinical trial supplies.
Bilcare GCS has formalized its working relationship by signing a service agreement with World Courier to utilize depots in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Peru, and Russia. The new locations supplement Bilcare's existing network with locations in India, U.K., Singapore and the United States. Additional global depot locations are planned for the near future.
"With the drug discovery program leading to potential new drugs becoming more complex, the need to clinically test drug efficacy and safety in diverse population groups across multiple geographic regions is becoming a crucial necessity. This necessity is driving clinical trials to be conducted at multiple locations across the globe. Bilcare, as a clinical trial supplies, services and solutions partner to the pharmaceutical industry, envisions and proactively creates the availability of key resources for its patrons, enabling realization of their imminent needs," commented Mohan Bhandari, Chairman and Managing Director of Bilcare Limited.
Vincent Santa Maria, President of Bilcare GCS, Americas, expressed that the successful culmination of this important initiative with World Courier into a formal working collaboration has resulted in augmenting Bilcare's ability to seamlessly execute international transactions, including customs and door-to-door delivery, all on a local level. This means clear communication, so there are no delays for sponsors, physicians or patients.
The World Courier depot sites offer a full range of storage and distribution services including cold chain, which strengthen Bilcare's capabilities and capacities at its worldwide manufacturing and distribution locations. By entering into a formal working relationship with World Courier, Bilcare will be able to significantly enhance its capabilities globally, to receive, control, verify and store client materials in temperature-controlled facilities providing specialty storage conditions, pick-and-pack handling, and certified delivery to client-designated locations.
