About Alloga

Alloga is a third-party logistics provider and among the leading logistics companies for pharmaceutical pre-wholesale in Switzerland. In the pharmaceutical sector, pre-wholesale is an important linking step on a medication's path from the manufacturer to the customer.

“We now have more transport capacity into the shipping department. In fact, we managed to double it, and as a pleasant side effect, I would also like to mention that the conveyor system is quieter too.”

Andreas Koch, Head of Wholesale & Logistics
Alloga Ltd.

“The implementation was only possible with preassembled modules, which we were able to obtain from Interroll. This was the only way this project could be successfully carried out in a short time frame.”
