Distributor & Manufacturer We are a distributor of lab, safety, and packaging supplies as well as amanufacturer of cleanroomgarments. We moved into manufacturing disposable garments in 2002 when Lilly needed a stronger supply chain partner for garments. That effort satisfied Lilly’s government mandates and resulted in a $250,000 per year cost reduction in one business unit for Lilly. Proven Experience Serving Pharmaceutical Companies Quest Safety currently works with 11 of the top pharmaceutical companies providing technical expertise, competitive pricing, and supply chain consistency. The pharmaceutical market is the fastest growing industry for Quest and continues to be an integral part of our business. Trusted Partner Quest Safety Has 20+ Years Working with Lilly! You have consistently been serviced by the same two Account Managers that entire time. We continuously work with your interest in mind – proactively providing the best safety solution available, plus cost savings, increased productivity, and an ease of doing business. Our business model puts you first. We moved to downtown Indy and applied for HUBZone certification at the request of Lilly to help Lilly satisfy federal HUBZone spending requirements. Solution Provider Quest provides more than products and equipment; we provide the solutions that solve problems and keep workers safe. Some of our solutions involve: • Cost Saving • Inventory Alignment Strategies • Safety Audits • Customizations • Training • VMI Our solutions for Lilly have totaled over $2.5 million over the past 18 years. As a partner to pharma companies, Quest is tested daily on competitive pricing, product quality, on-time delivery, and supply chain consistency. 2020 challenged many suppliers’ procurement practices. Quest was able to navigate these uncharted waters providing critical products to Lilly with 0 stock-outs or near- misses. As a result, the IPM business unit was able to supply critical material globally to aid other sites stock out concerns.

The Benefits of Quest Safety’s Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) Program We focus on you having your products stocked when you need them so your employees can focus on your bottom line.

Increased Customer Care Regular access to Quest’s VMI and customer service team. Product availability boosts the quality of customer service. Reduced Inventory Overstocks & Stock Shortages Not having the right products in stock can impact quality of work. Quest’s VMI can reduce overstocks and stock shortages that cause uncertainty. Improved Operational Efficiencies Quest’s VMI program decreases a Lilly employee’s time to manage product inventory as well as insures consistent supply of the right product at the right time. Onsite Technical Expertise Quest’s experience in VMI allows us to bring our customers better reporting and reduces administrative work so our customers can focus more strategically on areas of their business. Financial Transparency Site-specific reporting and spend usage allows our customers to make better- informed business decisions and eliminate wastage, non-value adding factors, and other costs associated with inventory errors.
