Here is what some of our clients say about us.

“UniPhar engaged the services of Alba Services at the very outset of our journey towards a new automated warehouse and distribution facility.  The extremely close working relationship that we enjoyed with Alba Logistics ensured that the original request for tender, vendor selection and final specification stages of the project went off very smoothly and that we were constructing what will be a truly best-in-class facility. 

Alba helped make the extremely complicated seem understandable whilst ensuring that we were not being constrained by the limits of our own imaginations. This enabled us to effectively establish an operating base that will support and drive the developments of the UniPhar Group over the coming decades”

 Tom Howard, Commercial Director, Independent Pharmacy Ownership Scheme, Ireland.

  

“Alba Logistics have worked with PepsiCo at several manufacturing site locations around the world. Working closely with Alba, in each case we achieved warehouse solutions that are practical, implementable and guaranteed to achieve productivity. Furthermore, Alba deserve the credit for showing their flexibility to accommodate the changes and modifications to plans during the project work.”

Mukesh Ghai, General Manager, Concentrate Operations, PepsiCo Puerto Rico

 

“Alba Logistics have worked with GlaxoSmithKline, Dungarvan on several key projects. The knowledge and experience imparted to us together with their extensive technical and logistical capability has brought a new dimension to our project teams.

Ultimately our business solutions have been enhanced in terms of design and of benefit delivery. We recognize Alba as being a key component in the successful completion of logistical and supply chain improvement projects and we will continue to engage Alba in supporting us to identify and drive competitive advantage for our business”

 

Michael Mansfield, Operations Manager, GlaxoSmithKline, Dungarvan, Ireland

    • SME Vulnerability in the Supply Chain

      September 13th, 2009

      Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs), businesses with less than 500 employees, face a special set of challenges by virtue of the position of relative weakness they occupy within supply chains.

      This vulnerability comes about either by dint of the fact that SMEs find themselves as suppliers to dominant lead companies such as large retail chains and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), or by dint of the fact that they are in competition with such lead companies.

      Consequently, an issue of premier importance to SMEs is the management of the relationships that they maintain with these customers. These relationships are pivotal to the ability of SMEs to maintain their supplier status.

      The Story of Warehousing

      From its origins in the days of ancient Egypt and Babylonia through to our own times, the story of warehousing has been an unending adventure. From ancient granary store to lynchpin of today’s global supply chains, the modern warehouse has become a sophisticated, high-tech work centre and a cornerstone of competitive advantage.

      Today, the rate of change in the practice of warehousing is accelerating and the gap between the best performers and the rest is widening. This is because these best performers realise that the latest technologies and best practices can make major contributions to profitability, market share and environmental responsibility.
