As a result of the pandemic, 51风流also worked with Australia鈥檚 largest pharmacy wholesaler and retail network, Sigma Healthcare, to help meet demand following a near doubling of orders.

鈥淲e are running large multinational companies, we have customers in Australia, we’re doing business in the US and in China and despite the increasing complexity and the higher degree of protection, we of course still want to provide the infrastructure to make those companies run,鈥� said Christian.
