Logistics operator GEODIS is strengthening its capabilities in transporting pharma and healthcare shipments by air in Asia Pacific and the Middle East with certifications across its network.

The company received the Center of Excellence for Independent Validators in Pharmaceutical Logistics (CEIV Pharma) certification for its locations in China (PVG), Indonesia (CGK), India (DEL and BOM), South Korea (ICN), Thailand (BKK), United Arab Emirates (DXB) and Singapore (SIN).

GEODIS said this series of certifications is a reflection of the company’s tremendous investment  in its Pharma Healthcare capabilities. The CEIV Pharma certification further demonstrates its dedication to offering customers supply chain transparency and visibility with shipment location and temperature data using GPS data loggers controlled by a control tower..

GEODIS said its customs brokerage and contract logistics services are of particular interest to pharma and healthcare decision-makers in the region, citing its warehouses in Singapore, which are GDP, GMP, and ISO13485 compliant.

“Without a doubt, we are responding to the healthcare industry’s demand for options in the selection of global supply chain partners,” said Onno Boots, Regional President and CEO of GEODIS for APAC and Middle East.

“We look forward to establishing GEODIS as a key service provider for pharma and healthcare companies, particularly in Asia Pacific and Middle East where we see the key hubs of production and distribution”, adds Boots.
