Aramex Ireland teams up with Biocair

[ January 31, 2024   //   ]

Pharma and biotech logistics specialist Biocair has signed a partnership with Aramex Ireland to expand its presence in the local market.

Biocair focuses on time-sensitive and temperature-controlled logistics services available, to industry-recognised GDP (Good Distribution Practice) standards.

Through the partnership, Biocair and Aramex Ireland will offer a fully integrated service, including pick-up and delivery, all managed through the Aramex network. It will provide specialist and bulk solutions for the pharmaceutical, medical and biotechnology sectors.

As the island of Ireland is split between the UK and the EU, there can often be difficulties with customs, paperwork and regulations and  Biocair and Aramex Ireland will provide services to help overcome these challenges. As a GDP-compliant logistics specialist, Biocair ensures all shipments meet legal and safe shipping standards and, as laws differ widely, provides assistance with customs tariff codes, classification of dangerous goods and labelling.

Both companies hold key industry accreditations and between them operate seven main depots in the UK and three in Ireland.

Biocair chief executive  Chris Cooke said: “We are delighted to be working with Aramex to expand our services within the Irish market and offer a unique service that is fully integrated from pickup through delivery. We have recognised the increasing demand for temperature-controlled logistics within the life science community and have acted accordingly to provide a stronger presence within Ireland.

“We are committed to regulatory compliance and managing every step in a shipment’s process with care, expertise and precision to prevent delays or issues. As a business we ensure to remain up to date with the latest in GDP compliant cold chain packaging and technology to bring the very best service to our customers.”

Aramex Ireland country manager, Frank Kilbride, added: “This collaboration is a further testament of our proven track record in offering innovative freight and logistics solutions for life science customers. We look forward to working with Biocair and supporting them expanding into the Irish market. Through our combined strengths and expertise, we aim to provide our customers and the wider market with a unique service proposition that offers clear value in a high growth area.”
