Part of our Transo-Pharm service in regulatory affairs is to send necessary documents, such as Drug Master Files, Letter of Access / Authorisation and Declaration of Accesses to CEPs to our customers for their regulatory activities.

​The scope is wide with many special wishes and requirements.

On the topic of "The new EU Dual-USE Regulation in practice", my colleague Catharina Schneider and I participated in a webinar on October 21.
​
As administrators in export control within the logistics department at Transo-Pharm, we are aware of the importance of export control and compliance with European and national regulations. Also because of the high fines and the risk of criminal liability for violations of foreign trade law.

Due to the Corona crisis travelling around the world is still difficult to impossible. Some companies continue to not allow certain business trips and on the other side some companies do not allow visitors from abroad.

​In this challenging environment it is not easy for the Quality Assurance functions to comply with one critical compliance routine; the obligation to conduct on-site vendor audits in line with their supplier qualification programs to ensure quality & GMP compliance in the manufacturing facilities, quality control labs and warehouses of their API suppliers. Typically, these audits need to take place every 2 – 3 years.

Transo-Pharm had the pleasure to be accompanied by our lovely colleague Shoe-Yin Bieber since May 1999. We mastered together many stages and developments in the 22 shared years. She will start her well-deserved retirement on December 1, 2021!
 
She was always the first face that you saw when you entered our headquarter in Siek. She welcomed all of our partners and friends. For every colleague she had a smiling “Good Morning” every morning, besides being the “good soul” at various CPhIs.
 
It will be very difficult to fill the void!
 
All of us here at Transo-Pharm wishes her all the best for the future.
 
It would be a great pleasure to welcome her for a visit - maybe for one of our “beer-o-clock´s”. This way we can host her for a change. 

During the Corona crisis and the associated restrictions on social contact, home office became an alternative for Transo-Pharm. 
​
​Some of us who were unfamiliar with this type of work environment had to learn to adapt - conference calls instead of face-to-face meetings, no direct contact with colleagues, working with children in the background etc.

​Employees with young school-age children had no choice but to work from home to take care of their children, who needed to be home-schooled.

After almost 25 years with Transo-Pharm, Andreas Freihse,  stepped into his retirement beginning of October.
 
Andreas has joined Transo-Pharm back in 1996 when we were a rather small group of enthusiasts who aimed to serve our partners with the best products and services.
 
The way he established long term business with our partners in a fair and friendly manner has become indicative for the spirit of Transo-Pharm and we are thankful for his commitment.
 
Andreas has always pushed us to be better and now after 25 years we are an even larger group at Transo-Pharm and several current staff members had the chance to be trained by him during his presence.
 
He will be missed as a competent and practical colleague but for us he will always remain a  “Transo-Pharmer”.
 
We are wishing him all the best for the next decade of his live and hope to see him from time to time for a “beer o'clock” .

Due to the impact of the global Corona pandemic Transo-Pharm will not participate with a stand at this year’s CPhI Trade show in Milan.

​​The main reason for this decision was based on the fact that most of our business partners from Asia will not travel to Europe.

​Transo-Pharm was founded in 1987. Back then the iron curtain was still up, Tim Berners-Lee hadn´t yet invented the World Wide Web and nobody thought about smart phones. Around that time, we introduced the TP-Calendar to our business partners; one of the first with a 4-month overview.

Well, time has changed. Our working places look so much different now than they did back then. We have calendars on our smart phones as well as on our computers. The world has become more digital.

Back in 1987 Transo-Pharm was founded on values, which distinguish us and guide our actions. We conduct our business in a socially responsible and ethical manner. We respect the law, support universal human rights, protect the environment and care about the communities we work in.

​Today, we start to send out our last and final edition of our TP-calendar. Transo-Pharm stays committed to provide quality products and superior customer service. And we stay curious on what lies ahead of us…
