Chicago – November 24, 2008 – RR Donnelley’s Global Turnkey Solutions, a leading provider of global supply chain management services, announced today that it has been awarded new agreements by medical device customers. In each case, RR Donnelley manages the entire related global supply base, to deliver greater efficiencies and uninterrupted supply. 

RR Donnelley’s Global Turnkey Solutions uses robust, integrated IT systems to mange the global sourcing, procurement and incoming quality control of all component parts associated with the procedural trays and product kits that it assembles for customers. Providing a distinct advantage is Global Turnkey Solutions’ highly developed, worldwide supply network for medical device component parts, print, packaging, labels and corrugated.

“Global Turnkey Solutions’ supply base management service eliminated significant headaches for us,” said Mark Kraus, Vice President of Operations at start-up medical device maker r4 Vascular, Inc.  “Because of Global Turnkey Solutions, we did not have to expend time and money normally directed at supply chain development and human resources, thus allowing us to fully utilize our capital resources on the completion of product development as well as sales and marketing.”  RR Donnelley now manages a growing list of 15 suppliers on behalf of r4 Vascular. 

In addition to its supply-base management service, RR Donnelley’s Global Turnkey Solutions executes other critical elements of customers’ supply chains including warehousing, assembly, clean-room kitting, sterilization management, and fulfillment. Through its extensive suite of services, GTS offers turnkey operational support from 12 strategically located global facilities. Using these world-class capabilities allows medical companies to focus on core competencies such as research & development and sales and marketing.  

Jerry Haarmann, President, Group Services for America’s Blood Centers (GSABC) said, “Global Turnkey Solutions’ ability to manage hundreds of suppliers internationally will help us achieve consolidation, standardization and significantly reduced costs associated with material usage.  More importantly, its experience and understanding of quality and compliance issues in our business was a determining factor in our decision to work with RR Donnelley.  Blood banking is highly-regulated by the FDA, and Global Turnkey Solutions has the necessary supplier quality-control systems in place.”
