Bristol-Myers Squibb appoints Exel as 3PL
| Bristol-Myers Squibb has appointed Exel as its third party logistics provider to handle distribution in the US. As part of the contract, Exel purchased the existing Bristol-Myers Squibb distribution centres in Mount Vernon, Indiana, and will take over operations in the second quarter of this year. Exel will provide logistics operations and finished goods distribution services, including storage and distribution of cold and non-cold chain products, clinical trials, samples and exports. Shortly after taking over operations in Mount Vernon, Exel will open and manage a second distribution centre on its Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania campus for Bristol-Myers Squibb. The Mount Vernon distribution centre is just 80 miles from the centre of all US population demand. It is also close to a number of key parcel and air infrastructure hubs, including Indianapolis and Louisville, Kentucky. Bristol-Myers Squibb will remain a primary customer served at the Mount Vernon facility, although Exel will be able to add other customers in the future to create a shared-user pharmaceutical distribution site.
