A History Of Transportation Excellence
The Shearer family business began in Pittsburgh in the early 1900’s, as the movie industry was becoming popular in America. To meet the growing demand for transport of film reels to local movie theaters, the Shearer company provided cartage service (land transportation) of these delicate, temperature-sensitive reels to movie theaters throughout Pittsburgh.
With the advent of air transport, our business grew accordingly, with shipments coming in via PanAm and other major airlines of the time. We became experts in air transport, clearances, customs brokerage and more. This expertise in shipping grew into the wide variety of services that the Shearer family of businesses now offers today.
Evolving In A Competitive Landscape
Keeping with the Shearer family tradition, MedTec Fulfillment Services was born out of a need in the medical device industry to have a supply chain logistics partner who can maneuver through the complex supply chain and logistics landscape that exists today.
As markets continue to evolve, we’ve taken on new competencies and developed capabilities in pick, pack, and ship as well as testing and quality management. Our ISO 13485 certification allows us to be a key element in our customers’ supply chain operations and provide services such as:
- Final-mile delivery of medical devices to consumers and hospitals
- Validation and verification of wearable services
- Management and tracking to ensure compliance with trial devices
We offer practical knowledge on how inventory moves around the world and can help you navigate the complexity involved in this process.
Through proper analytics, testing, validation, and design in both engineering and supply chain, we’ll help you reduce the risk of error and build resiliency in your commercialization process.
Learn how we can meet your company's challenges.
Our Ground Service Advantage
Efficient distribution strategies are at the heart of our enterprise. Instead of one facility handling multiple logistic needs, we have operations across the US. This infrastructure means ground-service improvements across the nation. Clients can expect 1-2 day fulfillments versus our competitors’ 4-5 day standard.
