Pharmaceutical distribution and warehousing
Oriola provides efficient, GDP-compliant pharmaceutical distribution and warehousing services for companies operating in the Nordics. We offer tailored solutions covering warehousing, wholesale, transport, inventory management and a range of value-added services. Operating in a highly regulated, infrastructure-critical environment, we ensure safety, reliability and compliance across the supply chain.
Secure and timely deliveries
We deliver pharmaceuticals and healthcare products to pharmacies, hospitals and veterinarians within 24 hours. Our expertise includes vaccine distribution and handling of temperature-sensitive and controlled substances. All deliveries follow Good Distribution Practice (GDP) guidelines.
Capacity and flexibility in the Nordics
Our distribution centres are located in Espoo, Finland, and Enköping, Sweden, with central warehouses in Mölnlycke and Espoo. We manage separate processes for ambient, cold, frozen, ultra-cold and hazardous products. This setup ensures compliance and product safety throughout the supply chain.
Automated operations
Warehouse automation reduces human error and improves compliance and traceability. This is especially important for sensitive or tightly regulated pharmaceuticals.
Cold chain and sustainability
We use modern, energy-efficient cold chain technology to meet strict temperature control requirements. At the same time, we are working to minimise the environmental impact of our operations by reducing emissions and energy use.
Real-time reporting
Interactive dashboards and system integrations provide real-time visibility into sales and logistics performance. This supports better planning and decision-making.
Personalised support
Our team combines local knowledge with supply chain expertise to support your operations. We tailor our services to your needs to ensure reliable deliveries, regulatory compliance and continuity even in exceptional circumstances.
