Transport for the pharmaceutical industry

Pharma requires precision, traceability and strict timing. BYLO Transport supports Italian pharmaceutical, biotech and diagnostics companies with ADR transport for reagents, active ingredients and ambient-temperature sensitive materials.

What we bring to pharma

Pharma has unique constraints:

  1. Rigorous traceability — every step in the chain must be documented.
  2. Tight timing — production downtime is expensive, a missed reagent delivery blocks an analysis.
  3. Chemical safety — many pharma substances fall under ADR classes (solvents, acids, reactive intermediates).

What we carry:

  • Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)
  • Reagents for diagnostics and research
  • Pharma-grade solvents (ethanol, isopropanol, acetone)
  • Lab materials (glassware, single-use plastics)
  • Synthesis intermediates
  • Excipients and non-cold-chain raw materials

What we don’t handle: finished medicines requiring cold chain (2-8°C or -20°C), ultra-low-temperature biologics, vaccines.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about this sector

Do you carry finished medicines or only raw materials?

We mostly work with raw materials and intermediates (APIs, reagents, pharma-grade solvents, lab consumables). We don't directly handle finished medicines requiring cold chain (2-8°C or -20°C).

How much notice is needed to organize a shipment?

For standard runs, 24-48 hours. For urgent shipments or reagents needed for production downtime we can activate priority procedures with availability within 12-24 hours on regularly covered routes.

Which ADR classes are typical for pharma?

Usually class 3 (flammable solvents like ethanol, isopropanol, acetone), class 8 (acids and bases for analysis) and class 6.1 (some toxic reagents). All served by BYLO Transport.
