STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Moberg Pharma AB has tabbed Emerson Group to provide logistical services under an outsourcing arrangement.
Moberg said Tuesday that under the services agreement, Emerson Healthcare, a division of Emerson Group, will provide certain logistical services and all order-to-cash functions for its U.S. retailer and wholesaler customers.
In addition, Moberg announced that it’s entering into a new sales representation agreement with Emerson Group.
Moberg noted that the two agreements, which go into effect Dec. 1, will yield significant savings in sales and administrative costs.
"We are pleased to expand the successful relationship with Emerson. Outsourcing these services will provide immediate savings in freight costs, as well as reducing focus of internal resources on non-value-added activities," commented Peter Wolpert, chief executive officer of Moberg Pharma AB. "Under this new model, our U.S. team will be able to spend more time and effort on activities that directly drive sales and build brand equity."
Emerson Group has handled contract sales functions for Moberg’s U.S. subsidiary since 2007. Moberg said that outsourcing logistical services to Emerson Healthcare will also produce savings and efficiencies for Moberg’s retailer customers by consolidating ordering, receivable, inventory and chargeback functions with other Emerson clients.
Emerson currently provides the same functions for more than 200 brands with retail sales of over $1 billion.
"We are excited about Moberg’s model to drive growth through a unique combination of innovation and brand equity," stated Scott Emerson, president and founder of Emerson Group. "The expanded partnership unlocks additional value and enables us to support Moberg’s growth in the U.S. in an excellent way."
Moberg, which has offices in Stockholm and New Jersey, provides a range of over-the-counter medicines under the brands Kerasal (foot care and nail treatments), JointFlex (topical pain relief), Domeboro (astringent solution), Vanquish (pain relief caplets), Fergon (iron supplement) and ElixSure (cold, cough, allergy and flu relief liquids).
