In his role with PCI, Rich works with clients to provide seamless global distribution for their investigational drug products, ensuring cost-effective and time-efficient delivery throughout the clinical trials process.

“The process of handling scheduled drugs is highly complex, due to the inherent risks involved with the product, and the need for absolute compliance in its development, manufacturing and distribution. PCI has a long-standing track record of supporting clients across the world in this challenging area, and I am delighted to have the opportunity to share some of our insight and experience at the CTS West Coast event,” said Rich.

PCI offers expertise in packaging and logistics for controlled substances, approved for Schedule I – V DEA designations. PCI’s domestic operations are located in Philadelphia, PA, Rockford, IL, and San Diego, CA, complemented by operations in the UK, Ireland and Australia.
