The most frequently used products from Softbox is a unit which can keep Allergan ’ s products at the right temperature for five days , during Air transit

Pétursson said : “ It is a very dynamic world and since I arrived here things have changed so fast , merging the systems will be an exciting and enormous task . Prior to the announcement there was some sharing of good practices between the two companies and it will continue now on a much more detailed level where we will undoubtedly merge the better of the two worlds in what is to become perhaps the largest pharma logistic network in the world .”
