- EBRD provides €14 million to Farmalogist for a new Serbian logistics centre, boosting pharmaceutical supply chain efficiency across the Western Balkans.
- The project prioritises sustainability, with 79% of financing aligning with Green Economy Transition principles.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is supporting pharmaceutical logistics in Serbia with a €14 million loan to Farmalogist. The company distributes medicines across the Western Balkans. The funding will help build a new logistics centre in Serbia to strengthen the supply chain and improve service efficiency.
The loan includes €1.2 million in concessional financing from the Global Environment Fund. About 79% of the funding follows the EBRD’s Green Economy Transition principles, supporting greener and more efficient operations.
Farmalogist will use the money to build the facility and purchase modern equipment. Centralising operations and introducing automated warehousing and handling systems will increase operational capacity and efficiency.
The logistics centre will exceed national energy performance requirements by one certification grade. It will incorporate circular economy practices to reduce environmental impact. Rooftop solar panels will generate renewable energy.
The project is among the first in Serbia to combine concessional funding with a Circular Economy Regional Initiative component. Farmalogist plans to optimise packaging, cut waste, expand renewable energy use, and implement automated recycling. The measures aim to minimise the environmental footprint of the new logistics centre.
