Producing millions of medicines is one thing. To help patients worldwide, all those medicines naturally have to reach their destination. Through its distribution center in Zaventem, Pfizer reaches more than 188 countries - from Africa to Europe and China.
The fact that Pfizer's Zaventem Logistics Center is just a stone's throw from the international airport is no coincidence. This strategic location makes it the hub for the distribution of Pfizer medicines for Europe and far beyond.
The fact that the logistics center is one of Pfizer's largest distribution centers in the world is also due to numerous innovative solutions. And, of course, a strong team of committed employees.
