Transpharma International (part of the Walden Group) – the pharmaceutical freight and logistics specialist – has entered into a strategic agreement with Arra Group, a Polish logistics company and key link in the European pharmaceutical supply chain.

Under the agreement, Transpharma International acquires 40% of Arra Group’s shares.

Arra Group’s impressive growth puts the company in a very high position on the European market, connecting daily the whole European continent. This cooperation will provide our life sciences customers with access to a network of 500 GDP compliant vehicles for their first-mile supply-chain. This partnership will provide a unique competitive solution with high quality standards for overland transport in Europe," said David Evans, CEO of Transpharma International.

"By the strategic partnership agreement between our companies, Arra Group’s customers will enjoy all the benefits of top-class know-how in the pharmaceutical supply chain. It is a step forward to achieve the Arra Group vision of a global scope of services. The family nature of our companies is the foundation of effective cooperation aimed at supporting the development of our clients. The common values of both companies, Arra Group and Walden Group, put everyone - their customers, patients, and employees at the center of attention. Now, we can together implement patient-oriented supply chains," said Artur Ratajczak, CEO of Arra Group.
