“ Another one of our expansion strategies is looking for local companies , or even individual local contacts , who can help us establish a presence in the region . They speak the language , operate in the same time zone , and therefore can act as our ambassadors . They provide a vital service that ’ s more immediate than anything we can achieve via email or on the phone . Speed of response is one of our core values , and having people on the ground is one way we can prove to potential new customers how we hold true to that .”
Timing was of the essence in 2020 , when I Holland stepped in to provide pharmaceutical companies the essential services they needed to survive a global pandemic . “ Demand for our core offering stayed strong during 2020 and 2021 , as the Covid crisis hit countries across the world . We remained open during all the lockdowns , operating 24 / 7 as a key component of the pharmaceutical supply chain . We were even involved in the production of an oral medicine produced by
Pfizer that combats Covid-19 . We produced the tablet tooling in record time , taking it from the design and concept stages , right through to engineering , so fast that it was being manufactured in the US , Germany , and Italy within a few weeks for a supply globally .”
Having cemented itself as a reliable partner in times of need , the future is bright for I Holland and its team . As Javier concludes : “ In the future , I would like to see the company continuing to do what it does best – just on a larger scale . Opening new markets is going to be vital for our success going forward . I ’ d like to add another 20-to-30 countries to the books over the next few years , and alongside that , continue to lead the market being true to our six core values : customer service , speed of response , pride in what we do , continuous improvement , honesty and integrity , and positive attitude .” ■
