COREX Logistics opens Kazakhstan office

COREX Logistics is pleased to announce the establishment of a representative office in Kazakhstan. Its office based in Almaty will serve the needs of international pharma and biotech conducting clinical research in the country. The new location strengthens COREX Logistics’ presence in the CIS region and further develops its capacity supporting clinical research in emerging markets.

“For several years, COREX has recognized the significant benefits on offer for international sponsors in Kazakhstan. These include access to a large ethnically diverse patient population many of whom are modern treatment-naïve, and skilled clinical professionals and patients who are eager to participate in clinical trials. We are delighted to establish a permanent base in this forward-looking country which is focused on the development of its life sciences sector”, said Natalia Andriyevskaya, Country Head of Kazakhstan at COREX Logistics.

Kazakhstan is the largest country in Central Asia with a population of 18.5 million. It strategically links the markets of China and South Asia with those of Russia and the European Union. The country has shown impressive economic growth in the last decade and is an emerging location for international clinical trials.

As well as occupying a geostrategic position in relation to markets to the East and West, Kazakhstan’s membership of Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) allows for simplified logistics across the CIS region. In addition, recent harmonization of legislation regarding clinical trials has expediated start-up timelines for studies.

“Our decision to strengthen our presence in Kazakhstan is in response to the growing needs of international sponsors in high recruiting countries. We look forward to introducing international sponsors to this market and supporting the smooth operation of their clinical studies,” said Andrey Tarakanov, CEO at COREX Logistics.

COREX Logistics is a full-cycle provider of clinical trials supply and logistics solutions since 2011. It is a leading provider of support services for drug development and clinical research across the CIS and Eastern Europe with its international HQ in Dublin, Ireland.
