Headquartered in Switzerland and listed on the SMI blue-chip index, Kuehne+Nagel employs more than 82,000 people across nearly 1,300 sites in close to 100 countries. 

The group holds the number one global position in both air and sea logistics, with strong market presence in road and contract logistics, and counts 400,000 customers worldwide among those relying on its network for end-to-end supply chain solutions. 

In a sector where speed, temperature control, and supply chain integrity directly affect patient outcomes, Kuehne+Nagel's capabilities position it as a natural Title Sponsor for a programme centred on pharmaceutical excellence.

The programme has attracted strong support across the sector, with Equans Sci-Tech serving as Platinum Sponsor and Paradigm Shift Consulting, QuickSTAT, and Envirotainer among the Gold Sponsors, alongside further backing from SkyCell, Bionow, and Amárach Research, and The Sunday Times as Communications Partner.

The Pharma Industry Awards UK celebrates the full pharmaceutical ecosystem across 27 categories, spanning innovation, operational excellence, supply chain achievement, sustainability, AI and data analytics, and research and development, among others.
