AKNO Telgate Business Park. Discover how this innovative project by Dr. Max is set to transform the pharmaceutical sector and optimize the distribution process.
The rapid advancement of technology has led an increasing number of companies to seek expansion and need new logistics hubs to manage their supply chain. Regardless of the sector, it is crucial to understand the growing importance of the logistics sector in a world where transport becomes faster and distances become shorter. With the advent of digitisation, the logistics sector is becoming even more important as it handles millions of shipments every day. In this context, companies like AKNO Group exemplify the evolution of the sector.
AKNO Telgate Business Park, the new national logistics hub for the pharmaceutical sector
AKNO Telgate Business Park is an impressive new logistics hub of 14,000 square metres. The company expects to handle over one million products per month to meet the demands of around seventy large pharmacies located in major Italian cities, as well as their e-commerce channels. This highly innovative distribution centre, developed by the AKNO Group, is part of Dr. Max‘s investment plan and ongoing commitment in Italy.
Dr. Max‘s projects in Italy will continue until 2024, with the focus currently on the implementation of the channel distribution centre, which will occupy a large operational area of 14,000 square metres. This ambitious project aims to support the growth of the European pharmacy chain DR. Max pharmacies in Italy. With almost 50 new pharmacies open by 2022, the recent opening of the new AKNO Group logistics centre is set to streamline and optimise distribution practices in the pharmaceutical sector.
In a world driven by technological advances, companies are constantly seeking expansion and innovation to optimise their supply chains. Regardless of the sector in which they operate, the importance of efficient logistics and distribution cannot be overestimated. The industry-leading AKNO Group is at the forefront of revolutionising business logistics with its latest project, AKNO Telgate Business Park.
One of the highlights of the AKNO Telgate Business Park is its innovative approach to optimising supply chains. By taking advantage of the latest technology and automation systems, companies operating within the park can benefit from improved inventory management, faster order processing and greater overall operational efficiency.

Today we all know that receiving a medicine or food supplement at home can have an incredible benefit in our perceived quality of life. We often forget how things happen ‘behind the scenes’, not realising that upstream we need to plan all the various steps in the procurement of goods and the optimised management of stocks and inventories in warehouses.

With advanced rainwater harvesting and management systems and the installation of state-of-the-art renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic panels, the AKNO Telgate Business Park is a model for environmentally conscious companies. By minimising its carbon footprint and promoting eco-friendly practices, the AKNO Group aims to create a sustainable business ecosystem for its customers.
The strategic location of AKNO Telgate Business Park in the province of Bergamo further enhances its attractiveness, given its European-level connection to all major arteries. The Telgate business park offers easy access to the main transport networks, allowing companies to reach their customers and suppliers more efficiently. In addition, the proximity to major cities and economic centres offers companies a strategic advantage in terms of market coverage and growth opportunities.
With its focus on innovation, efficiency and sustainability, AKNO Telgate Business Park is poised to transform the European corporate logistics landscape. As companies increasingly recognise the importance of lean supply chains and environmentally friendly practices, this AKNO Group business park offers an ideal solution for companies wishing to consolidate their operations and improve their competitiveness.
