What Livlina does

Livlina NV is a Belgian pharmaceutical fourth-party logistics (4PL) provider headquartered in Sint-Niklaas, operating as a subsidiary of the Febelco Group since 2000. Founded in 1993 as Pharma Distri Center and rebranded to Livlina in 2020, the company runs three GDP-certified warehouses in Belgium — Tessenderlo (35,000 m²), Sint-Niklaas (19,000 m²), and Zolder (12,000 m²) — totaling 66,000 m² of temperature-controlled space spanning ambient (15-25°C), cold (2-8°C), and ultra-low (-20 to -80°C) zones, with 110,000 pallet locations and capacity for 6,500 refrigerated pallets.

The company's core offering combines GDP-certified storage, automated warehouse operations (A-frame picking, high-bay automated storage and retrieval, pick-to-light, pick-to-belt, automated weight checks, and a custom box-reduction system delivering 20% better stacking) with value-added services including GMP/GDP repacking, relabeling, return handling, in-house QA, and engineered order-to-cash cycle management. Distribution covers Benelux, France, Germany, and the UK via flexible transport options (managed, outsourced, customer-arranged, or proprietary fleet) with next-day delivery from orders placed before 15:00. A B2B portal provides customers with real-time order management, shipment tracking, KPIs, and returns visibility. Operations reach 99.96% delivery accuracy on approximately 3.8 million annual order lines.

Revenue is generated through managed-services fees for warehousing and handling, professional services for value-added activities such as repacking, relabeling, and business intelligence, and transportation management. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesalers, hospitals, pharmacies, retail outlets, and veterinary pharmacies, with each customer assigned a dedicated single point of contact. The customer base and contract values are not publicly disclosed.
