In business since 1988, we have built extraordinary relationships with tens of thousands of people. We are not a company doing great things for other companies; instead we are a team of people providing a great connection between other people and products.
Langham’s people, though, do something else. Our people absorb the tension of callers who have an emergency shipment. Our team solves problems, sometimes in such heroic fashion as to schedule an emergency flight to save the life of a patient awaiting a small vial of an experimental drug. Our people awaken in the middle of the night to respond to a flight delay, so our customers can keep on sleeping.
