Case Study
Delivering $2M in radiopharmaceutical equipment to advance cancer treatment
A radiopharmaceutical company needed to move more than $2 million worth of specialized equipment from Italy to its U.S. production facility to launch a new line of cancer treatments.
By delivering the shipment by air instead of ocean, the company was able to get its new production line running nearly three weeks sooner than expected. That time saved meant an estimated 2,750 additional patients gained access to life-saving treatments.
