BioStorage Tech, Sentry Logistic Form Partnership

BioStorage Technologies and Sentry Logistic Solutions have formed a strategic partnership to deliver cold-chain logistics and storage services to the global biopharmaceutical industry. According to a joint statement from the companies, “The alliance provides worldwide pharma and biotech companies with sophisticated, expert cold storage, shipping and tracking solutions to support all phases of drug development — from R&D through commercialization.”

“The BioStorage Technologies-Sentry partnership is rooted in a like-minded commitment to secure, compliant and efficient global biopharmaceutical storage and logistics,” said Dr. F. John Mills, chief executive officer of BioStorage Technologies. “Our clients frequently ask us to recommend a firm that we trust for pharmaceutical component storage, one that shares our commitment to quality and customer service. We partnered with Sentry because of its customer-centric corporate culture and its passion for creating efficiencies through technology, process and procedure. This partnership leverages both companies’ respective strengths and provides our collective clients with consistent, reliable solutions across their businesses.”

“The materials and products involved in the drug development process can equate to billions of dollars in revenue,” said Jennifer Marcum, Sentry’s chief executive officer. “Biopharma firms demand outsourcing partners that are extremely reliable and have a proven competency in handling sensitive materials under highly specialized and regulated conditions. Until now, finding partners that provide a broad enough range of capabilities to support the diversity of materials involved in pharmaceutical development and commercialization was a struggle. Our partnership with BioStorage Technologies fills that gap by providing these businesses with cohesive, consistent storage and logistics solutions.”

The companies are both strategically located in Indianapolis, IN inside a foreign trade zone area and in close proximity to an international airport, the second-largest FedEx hub in the world.
