Siemens Healthineers Brings Millions of Rapid COVID-19 Tests to Market with RRD’s Supply Chain and Warehousing Solutions

R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (RRD), leading global provider of marketing, packaging, print, and supply chain solutions, supported Siemens Healthineers to accelerate the delivery of rapid COVID-19 antigen self-tests to the U.S. market during a time of dire need. RRD, a Chicago-based company with nearly two decades of experience helping medical device clients optimize their supply chain, leveraged its ISO 13485 accredited facilities and ability to scale quickly to facilitate Siemens Healthineers’ time-sensitive project.

Amid the peak of the COVID-19 Omicron variant outbreak in January 2022, Siemens Healthineers stepped up to make tens of millions of tests available to the U.S. population through state, federal, and local partnership efforts. The company sought to expand its warehouse space to meet growing demand to help accommodate the massive volumes of product. Siemens Healthineers collaborated with RRD, who had the ability, experience, and flexibility to upscale with uncertain demand.

“It was critical to find a supplemental supply chain and warehouse solution that could help us supply high-quality test kits that would provide accurate COVID-19 results to the U.S. population. RRD’s ability to flex and adapt to changing demand helped address some of these needs,” said Joerg Berner, Acting Head of Point of Care Diagnostics at Siemens Healthineers.

RRD leveraged its supply chain expertise and its fulfillment capabilities to help Siemens Healthineers meet increasing market demand. RRD was responsible for the additional scale, inbound receipt, inspection, warehousing, labeling, fulfillment, and logistics of COVID-19 tests. The two teams addressed challenges by scrutinizing various factors in the production process, working in lockstep, and maintaining superior communication.
