Belgian logistics services company H.Essers provides one-stop-shop delivery and logistics solutions throughout Europe. Founded by Henri Essers in 1928, the company has become one of the leaders in the field of supply chain services in logistics for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
H.Essers' strength lies in its asset-based strategy: it owns the transport fleet, warehouses and information systems. This allows the company to maintain optimal control over all its most critical processes.
Pharma Logistics as Core Business
The provision of integrated logistics solutions for the Pharma industry is a core business for the group. This obviously makes H.Essers an ideal partner for value-added solutions in temperature-controlled storage, synchromodal transport and at the same time enables the company to achieve new high standards of quality and GDP compliance.
Strategic European Network
H.Essers continues to expand its network in Europe. With its total network of 89 sites in 19 countries, H.Essers is 100% dedicated to pharmaceutical specialities and medical devices for some of the major international players in the sector, all GMP and GDP compliant. H.Essers works in close and constant cooperation with its Pharma customers and wants to grow with them. It aims to create effective, long-term and sustainable partnerships through consistent investments in value-added solutions and high-end infrastructure.
Sustainable Strategy
As a leading logistics service provider, H.Essers wants to play a pioneering role in sustainable entrepreneurship. After all, success, in our opinion, is more than the sum of income and quarterly figures. Caring for the environment, for our employees and customers, doing business with tomorrow’s generations in mind, that’s what really matters in the end. That’s why, instead of implementing a sustainability strategy, we have made the conscious decision to implement a sustainable strategy. By making sustainable strategic choices, we can really make a difference and help shape a sustainable society. We have entered into a dialogue with all our stakeholders in order to arrive at five policy objectives which are the foundations of our sustainable strategy.
Multimodal Transport Network
In order to optimally serve our customers, we have an extensive European multimodal transport network at our disposal. Depending on the customer’s needs in terms of lead times, budget and ecological footprint, we smartly combine water, rail and road transport in one integrated synchromodal solution.
All these complex operations are possible thanks to an intensive cooperation with our customers regarding systems and processes. For example, we continually invest in our own IT solutions, in modern infrastructure and a sustainable fleet. That’s how we create a sustainable partnership, based on mutual trust and feedback.
Vaccine’s Transport
In November 2020, Pfizer announced that it had developed a safe and effective vaccine to combat Covid-19, and confirmed its readiness to join forces with H.Essers to distribute it on the basis of its long-standing partnership.
H.Essers CEO Gert Bervoets said "the world has been waiting for this news. As a strategic partner we are ready to support Pfizer in the rapid and safe distribution of vaccines to make sure that in the short-term people can be vaccinated. Since 2006 our company has built up a specialised network for the transport of the most sensitive pharmaceutical products. Today we can guarantee the 100% safe and temperature-controlled transport of these vaccines."
H.Essers, therefore, has been and will be responsible for primary distribution by road to various logistics platforms and airports in Europe.
