Global logistics provider GEODIS officially started operations at its new 5500-sqm site in Amsterdam Airport Schiphol on 6 October, with a focus on providing services to the pharma and healthcare sectors.

The new location is next to the existing site and will expand the freight forwarder’s footprint in both sectors, which is already well established with its contract logistics operations at GEODIS’ Venlo site.

The new Schiphol-Rijk cold chain facility is TAPA-A rated for air freight and holds the appropriate CEIV Pharma certification for handling goods in the 15-25 C and 2-8°C range. It will provide freight forwarding services as part of a worldwide cross-docking network for ambient and cold chain products.
