to business success. That is why it’s paramount to partner with external vendors who share your strategic vision and goals. The vendors MD Logistics has chosen to partner with share the same desire, not only the same design to grow together, but also support MD Logistics’ clients and their growth. Attitude and Culture. Arguably, one of the most important aspects for success is the attitude you infuse in your company culture. When you create a culture within your company of serving the client’s needs rst, that leads to strong brand recognition within the industry. This is exactly the principle that MD Logistics was founded on 30 years ago and continues to be an integral part of their business today. In addition to keeping client needs top of mind, infusing a continued desire for growth and expansion within your culture will create a team all working towards the same goal. This shared desire is what has driven MD Logistics to their 30th anniversary and will continue to drive their team well into the future.
MD Logistics is a renowned provider of third-party logistics services within the life sciences and pharmaceuticals industry. With a long history of providing customized supply chain solutions for clients and a proven track record of excellence, their start was humble, as freight forwarders, determined to do whatever possible for their clients. But, the journey from freight forwarders to a highly specialized 3PL servicing the life sciences and pharmaceuticals industry was not an easy one. It was lled with both challenges and opportunities for the team at MD Logistics to nd their niche within the marketplace. 2026 marks MD Logistics’ 30th year in business. In 30 years time, how could this 3PL build a reputation as a leading partner within arguably one of the most regulated industries? THE SOLUTION In business, nding your niche comes with trial and error. It’s understanding and nding out what works for your business and having the vision to lead your team into the future. What elements are necessary to build a reputable brand within this industry? Leadership Vision. When MD Logistics was founded, co-founders Dave Kiebach and Mark Sell were freight

Client need is what drove them to enter the life sciences and pharmaceuticals industry as a 3PL partner, continuing to learn and add on to service offerings as client need and industry demand dictated. Over the course of three decades, the leadership team at MD Logistics has continued to support Mark and Dave’s early ‘can do’ vision, fortifying a position within the industry as a formidable logistics partner. This continued when MD Logistics was acquired by Nippon Express in 2020. Present day, the leadership at Nippon Express continues to support MD Logistics’ vision and goals for future growth.
