19th June 2023, Haridwar :Akums, a leading provider of cost-effective and timely manufacturing solutions in the pharmaceutical industry, is pleased to announce its pioneering central warehousing pilot project located in the SIDCUL Industrial Estate, Haridwar, this initiative represents a significant milestone in Akums’ commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions to the pharmaceutical sector.
Under the visionary leadership of Mr. Sanjeev Jain and Mr. Sandeep Jain, the dynamic co-founders and Joint Managing Directors of Akums, the company has consistently provided innovative contract development and manufacturing organisation (CDMO) services. In the past, Indian pharma companies had to rely on foreign sources to meet their manufacturing and research-oriented needs. Akums has played a pivotal role in transforming this landscape, customising solutions, and building an extensive, cost-effective infrastructure to address industry challenges with highly competitive and innovative business models.
Speaking at a media gathering, Mr. Sandeep Jain, MD, and Co-Founder of Akums, emphasised the need for advanced warehousing infrastructure and related services. While the core focus of manufacturing businesses is customising and manufacturing finished goods according to clients’ needs, addressing the challenges of handling, storing, and moving these goods is equally crucial. Traditionally, factories have prioritised expanding their core production areas, neglecting the optimization of finished goods storage space. Acknowledging this gap, Akums’ senior management has dedicated substantial time to address storage challenges and develop in-house expertise.
“We recognized the inherent challenges associated with warehousing infrastructure and related services,” said Mr. Sandeep Jain. “To address these challenges, we are evolving an effective, state-of-the-art automated warehousing infrastructure and related services in a new 70,186.56 sq. mtr. campus located on the main arterial road in the SIDCUL industrial estate. This facility will cater to FG storage, FG handling, and FG-out services, with trained stores and logistics personnel to support our various plants in and around Haridwar.”
The first phase of the project comprises a built-up area of 30,610.2 sq. mtr., including a ground coverage of 28,215.61 sq. mtr., with 17 standalone blocks dedicated to pharmaceutical FG storage.
Akums is proud to embark on this groundbreaking central warehousing pilot project, to enhance operational efficiency and meet the evolving demands of the pharmaceutical industry. This initiative reflects Akums’ unwavering commitment to innovation and the continuous improvement of its services.
