INTRODUCING THE SMART CONTAINER GROUP (SCG) AND HER TWO ANNEXES

Doing things right is more about breaking barriers than maintaining a common ritual. Most of the things we acquire today wasn’t in anyway produced within our vicinity, but was brought closer to us courtesy of the mavericks of logistics. Foods and drugs are not left out in this regard.

The concern for food and pharma haulage has been deemed too sensitive and unnecessarily demanding to delve into. Despite the many hurdles it still remains an attractive destination for profit minded investors who wouldn’t shy away from its many financial prospects contained in the QuintilesIMS Institute and Evaluate Pharma 2016 forcast.

According to the forcast; over USD1.1 trillion of pharmaceutical products are shipped around the world annually. Twenty six percent (26%) of this value are cold chain related with the tendency of climbing to a seventy (70%) by 2021. To transport these temperature-sensitive pharma products, the pharma industry spent USD13.4billion in 2017; And is expected to increase to USD 16.6billion by 2021.

To tap into the above figures; one must be able to handle the attendant challenges stipulated by WHO as follows;

Need for the containers devoid of temperature variations to checkmate damage to products on transit
Need for strict transportation policies as contained in the EU guidelines for good distribution practices’ (GSP) in certain markets.
