Nomeco

Nomeco is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Nomeco rather than just read about it. In short: Nomeco, a wholly owned subsidiary of Phoenix Group, is the largest wholesaler of pharmaceutical products in Denmark. The company is headquartered in Copenhagen and is building a 20,000 square metre Nordic logistics centre in Køge which is expected to open in 2017.

Key takeaways

Nomeco belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Nomeco to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Nomeco from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Nomeco, a wholly owned subsidiary of Phoenix Group, is the largest wholesaler of pharmaceutical products in Denmark. The company is headquartered in Copenhagen and is building a 20,000 square metre Nordic logistics centre in Køge which is expected to open in 2017.

History Nomeco was founded in 1991, through the merger of Mecobenzon A/S (founded 1919), and Nordisk Droge og Kemikalie A/S (founded 1903). In 1998, the company was merged with Finnish Tamro Oyj, the largest wholesaler of pharmaceutical products in the Nordic and Baltic countries. In 2000, Phoenix Pharmahandel became the largest shareholder of the company with 33.7% of the shares and in 2005, the company acquired full ownership. In August 2015, it was announced that Nomeco will build a new Nordic logistics centre for pharmaceuticals in Køge south of Copenhagen.

Company Nomeco is headquartered in the South Harbour area of Copenhagen. The new logistics centre for pharmaceuticals in Køge will cover 20,000 square metres and be located in Skandinavisk Transport Center. Will open in the summer of 2018. The company is Denmark's largest distributor of pharmaceuticals and other products that promote health and well-being. Nomeco's wide range of services include various information logistics, marketing, sales and registration expert services. Pharmaceutical distribution is Nomeco's core business. Nomeco's customers are pharmaceutical companies, pharmacies, hospitals and retailers.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Nomeco

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Nomeco claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Nomeco before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Nomeco ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Nomeco

In research: Nomeco appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Nomeco in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Nomeco is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1991 establishments in Denmark, Companies based in Copenhagen Municipality, Danish company stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Nomeco outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is Nomeco in simple terms?

Why does Nomeco matter?

Because it connects several science ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study Nomeco?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.
