Our wholesale operations distribute veterinary medicines and animal health products nationally through warehouse sites in Bendigo (VIC), Toowoomba (QLD), Smithton (TAS)and Welshpool (WA),operatingwithin a highly regulated veterinary pharmaceutical environment.
At the heart of the network is our in-houselogisticsservice, ALS. Its primary purpose is servicing the Pork Storks Australia network — delivering reproductive products toclients within a tight time window, every time, with set delivery days to each client each week. Built around that commitment, ALS also carries veterinary freight, distributing to ourApiamclinic network as well as swine,feedlotand dairy clients.
