Marken, a provider of clinical trial materials logistics services, has expanded its network of qualified third-party service providers and customs brokers to reinforce the company's infrastructure and prepare for a ncrease in drug, vaccine, active pharmaceutical ingredient, and ancillary shipment volume. New providers have been qualified in the United States, Ukraine, Russia, Italy, Peru and Brazil. This comes after changes were made in 2015 in Mexico, Taiwan, Japan and China. The company has also increased warehouse and storage capacity in Frankfurt, Brussels, and Zurich and has completed a consolidation of its operations at John F. Kennedy airport in January. All of these actions are needed to prepare for the rapid increase in volume and shipment complexity expected in the coming months.
