New regional hub in Belgrade
In Serbia PHOENIX group is offering wide portfolio of pharmacy services along the whole chain of pharmaceutical business from manufacturer to the patient since 2009. More than a year ago, PHOENIX group opened its first logistic hub in Prague, Czech Republic, being part of our new cross-boarder Healthcare Logistics solution for Central and Eastern Europe: CEE Bridge”. With Warsaw opened in 2016 and Belgrade in 2017, all three hubs are up and running. The new Belgrade hub is situated around 30 km from the city centre in the industrial zone, near the airport and main roads leading to Budapest, Sofia, Skopje and Zagreb. As the part of the CEE Bridge project and the new concept of operations “Regional distribution service model – HUB network solution”, the new hub in Belgrade will create new levels of business with our industry partners.
The new hub in Belgrade gives PHOENIX in Serbia the opportunity to plan the specification of user requirements to comply all Good Distribution Practice (GDP) entails. The requirements of integrated management system are fulfilled there and so are the principles of environmental protection, safety and health at work and other regulatory and institutional requirements. This high bay warehouse is a modern, 6-palletlevel warehouse with a capacity of more than 11,000 pallets and modern warehouse space covers more than 7.000 square meters.
With the opening of the hub in Belgrade, PHOENIX is able to reduce the complexity of international logistics processes significantly which leads to reduced costs by optimising the stock levels. The CEE Bridge networks ensures access to regional connected markets in the entire region.
