Philadelphia, PA – Diversity/Careers Magazine recently featured Arbill as a standout supplier to GSK – the global pharmaceutical leader and Arbill client. In 2007, after a very competitive selection process, GSK chose Arbill to be their lead safety supplier throughout North America. According to Julie Copeland, Arbill President and CEO, "GSK appreciated that we could offer every element they were looking for: all kinds of safety products, plus sophisticated training in compliance." 6 months after Arbill began servicing GSK, the company chose Arbill to participate in their prestigious mentoring program, the goal of which is to identify a supplier’s potential for further penetration and growth throughout GSK’s worldwide operations, and to help the supplier company (in this case, Arbill) achieve it. In addition, this specific program worked with Arbill to standardize certain operating procedures. According to Arbill President and CEO Julie Copeland, "The idea is that there were to be standard operating procedures for opening up each new distribution center, in the US which could then be mirrored in another country."

As Denise James Gatlin, the director of global supplier diversity and business development at GSK says, "The programs we put in place are opening doors for suppliers who traditionally have not had the opportunity to work for a large pharmaceutical company." Arbill has proven to be more than up to the challenge. Not only has the program helped the company gain more penetration into GSK, but it has also positioned Arbill to be equipped to serve global companies across all industries.
