Malta’s bustling pharmaceutical sector relies heavily on companies like Express Trailers to ensure the safe and efficient delivery of vital medicines and healthcare products. As a recognized leader in pharmaceutical logistics, Express Trailers has built its reputation on a commitment to operational excellence, unwavering compliance with stringent regulations, and a dedication to providing cutting-edge solutions for a demanding industry.
“We’ve witnessed Malta’s pharmaceutical logistics sector grow from its infancy to a key player in Europe,” Jesmond Mifsud, head of sales, said. He emphasizes the company’s foresight in recognizing the potential of this sector early on. “We evolved alongside it, continually enhancing our fleet, infrastructure and services to meet the highest standards of Good Distribution Practices (GDP).”
Meeting Stringent Requirements
The pharmaceutical logistics industry is known for its exacting standards, demanding meticulous attention to detail at every stage of the supply chain.
“The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most heavily regulated sectors, and compliance is non-negotiable,” Mifsud explains.
Express Trailers understands this imperative. “We ensure that our operations – both locally and internationally – adhere to the latest GDP requirements, which are crucial to maintaining the trust of our clients.”
With over 70 modern, thermo-mapped trailers equipped with GPS tracking and GPRS temperature monitoring, Express Trailers ensures the safe transportation of temperature-sensitive products. Each trailer is annually calibrated, and dual temperature units cater to specific pharmaceutical needs, whether that’s freezing, cooling, or ambient temperatures.
The company’s commitment extends beyond transport. The recent inauguration of their third temperature-controlled warehouse and cross-docking facility further strengthens their capability to support the growing pharmaceutical sector.

Express Trailers invests heavily in the latest technology. “From real-time GPS tracking to temperature monitoring, our fleet and infrastructure are equipped with state-of-the-art technology that ensures products remain within their required parameters throughout the journey,” Mifsud says, highlighting their commitment to exceeding expectations. “This explains why we are constantly investing in the latest technology to ensure our fleet meets the highest industry standards. This not only gives our clients peace of mind, but also helps us maintain efficiency as we scale our operations.”
Johann Vella, director of quality assurance, underscores the importance of the human element. “Behind the company’s operational excellence is a dedicated team that ensures every aspect of the supply chain is compliant with European regulations. I lead a team responsible for overseeing operations and ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety.”
rigorous training is a cornerstone of their success. “Our team undergoes rigorous training to ensure that every step of the pharmaceutical logistics process complies with EU regulations,” Vella explains. The company also employs a Qualified Person (QP) and a Responsible Person (RP) overseeing operations, guaranteeing the highest industry standards are met at all times.
This commitment to compliance and excellence hasn’t gone unnoticed. “Our clients trust us because of our long-standing expertise in the pharmaceutical sector and our unwavering focus on quality. This has resulted in numerous referrals from satisfied customers.”
Looking Ahead: Global Expansion and Continued Innovation
Express Trailers is poised for continued growth and expansion. As the pharmaceutical industry expands globally, the company maintains focus on emerging markets outside of the EU, while remaining dedicated to their existing European clients.
“I think that continuous investment in technology and human resources will be crucial to staying competitive,” Mifsud emphasizes.
