Nippon Express (China), JPG Logistics sign business partnership MoU

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 22 -- Nippon Express (China) Co Ltd (NE China), a subsidiary of Nippon Express Co Ltd of Tokyo, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Dec 18 last year, over business partnership with Jointown Pharmaceutical Group Logistics Co Ltd (JPG Logistics), a member of the Jointown Pharmaceutical Group Co Ltd (JPG), a major Chinese pharmaceutical distributor/wholesaler.

JPG Logistics is a JPG company specialising in pharmaceutical logistics that runs, manages and supports the entire group's logistics operations, as well as its logistics centres at the provincial and regional city level.

According to a statement, it provides China's domestic pharmaceutical distribution market with enhanced transport services.

NE China had been considering a business partnership with JPG Logistics to cover those operational aspects of pharmaceutical logistics in which foreign companies are not allowed to participate under China's Good Supplying Practice (GSP) standards governing pharmaceutical supply and quality control.

NE China has already been working together on transport efforts with JPG Logistics during the coronavirus pandemic, developing a system enabling pharmaceutical products in China to be delivered overseas and for foreign pharmaceutical products to be delivered to regional cities in China.

This business partnership will allow Nippon Express to offer services that meet customer needs for safety-conscious pharmaceutical transport by combining its own pharmaceutical logistics services utilising its global network outside China with JPG's domestic transport network within China.

Nippon Express will continue upgrading its services to meet increasingly sophisticated and varied pharmaceutical transport needs, stepping up efforts both inside and outside Japan on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry.
