IJS Global has designed and built a dedicated warehouse for Novartis Animal Healthcare products in the Philippines under a three-year warehousing and distribution contract.

The 600-square meter, 500-pallet position temperature-controlled warehouse in San Dionisio, Paranaque City, follows Novartis requirements.

The warehouse is equipped with a chiller which keeps livestock vaccines at between 3°C and 8 °C. The remainder of the facility holds other livestock products such as feedmix and pesticides.

IJS Global also maintains a second smaller facility at Davao City with an ambient temperature warehouse for pesticide products. The company is responsible for product distribution to both end user customers and dealers from the two facilities.

“We operate a multi-modal facility built to Novartis’ exact requirements,” said Rose Su, IJS Global’s managing director, Philippines.

“Most of the shipments are bulky and therefore travel by ocean but we also handle a significant amount of airfreight where the shipments are urgent and cannot wait for an ocean transit.

“The majority of the vital vaccines we handle through the San Dionisio facility are for distribution throughout the country which can mean air, land and sea and are for use in both poultry and swine.”
