Every business is dependent upon their supply chain for success and weak links in that chain can be devastating.

This is particularly true for pharmaceutical, healthcare and cosmetics companies that need distribution with guaranteed reliability to every pharmacy in a particular region. Companies that do not keep a consistent supply of products on the pharmacy shelves are losing business and forcing pharmacists to look for alternative products. When pharmacists find those alternatives it could be very difficult to win them back. It is not enough just to have the best products, your products must be available at all times and to achieve that goal you must work with the very best logistics provider in the industry. From its early beginnings in 1960, Marathon Distributors has grown rapidly to become Cyprus’ leading healthcare logistics provider with a 35% market share, offering services along the supply chain such as warehousing, call centre, transportation, collections and repackaging. We serve every pharmacy, hospital, doctor and analyst across Cyprus with excellent service, unrelenting attention to quality and safety and a guarantee to deliver what they need, when they need it. It is this network that is perfectly positioned to meet the logistics requirements of pharmaceutical, healthcare and cosmetics companies. Obviously you can chose to do all of this internally but why would this be an advantage when outsourcing to Marathon Distributors will enable you to strengthen your supply chain and service, whilst giving you the freedom to stay focused on marketing and selling your products.

Protecting Temperature-Sensitive Pharmaceuticals During Power Outages

Cyprus is no stranger to extreme summer temperatures. As demand for electricity rises during prolonged heatwaves, the pressure on the power grid increases, making power outages more likely. While an interruption to the electricity supply may be an inconvenience for most businesses, for pharmaceutical logistics providers it presents a far greater challenge.

The challenge becomes even greater when handling temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals such as vaccines, biologicals and insulin. These products require refrigerated storage conditions of 2°C to 8°C, while others must be kept at low freezing temperatures ranging from –15°C to –25°C. Power outages pose a significant threat and can quickly lead to temperature excursions, potentially compromising the quality, efficacy and safety of these products.

At Marathon Distributors, we have built multiple layers of protection into our operations to maintain the strict storage conditions, even during extended power outages.

These measures include:
- Backup generators
- Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
- Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS)
- Building Management System (BMS)
- Automatic power failure and temperature excursion alarms
- Emergency response and product relocation
- Preventive maintenance programmes
- Temperature mapping and calibration

With our robust infrastructure, reliable equipment, continuous monitoring and established emergency protocols, we protect the integrity of these products at all times and, ultimately, the safety of the patients who rely on them.

💊 Good Distribution Practices (GDP): Why They Matter

📋 What Are Good Distribution Practices (GDP)?
Good Distribution Practices (GDP) are a set of standards designed to ensure that medicinal products are consistently stored, transported, and handled under suitable conditions.

While GDP is often viewed as a regulatory requirement, its importance goes far beyond compliance. Every product that reaches a patient has travelled through multiple stages of the supply chain. GDP provides the framework to ensure that products are protected every step of the way - from manufacturer to wholesaler, from wholesaler to healthcare professional, and ultimately to patient.

🛡️Why Do They Matter?
✅ Protect product quality and integrity
✅ Ensure patient safety
✅ Enable full traceability and efficient recalls when needed
✅ Reduce risks associated with storage and transportation
✅ Help prevent counterfeit or compromised products from entering the supply chain

When it comes to pharmaceutical products, quality and safety do not only depend on how they are manufactured, but also on how they reach the patient.

At Marathon Distributors, we uphold the highest standards, ensuring that products reach healthcare professionals at the right time and in the right condition.
