NIPPON EXPRESS FRANCE WAREHOUSE NEAR PARIS CHARLES DE GAULLE AIRPORT OBTAINS GDP CERTIFICATION

KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 (Bernama) -- Nippon Express France, S.A.S. (NE France), a local subsidiary of Nippon Express Co Ltd has obtained Good Distribution Practice (GDP) certification from the certification body Bureau Veritas Certification France, effective May 19.

This is for air and truck freight forwarding operations (including temporary storage services) at a company-owned warehouse located on the grounds of Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, evidencing its compliance with GDP standards for the proper distribution of pharmaceuticals.

According to a statement, France is home to both world-famous pharmaceutical giants and numerous prominent pharmaceutical research organisations, having naturally become a base for the development and manufacture of pharmaceutical products.

NE France's temperature-controlled facilities (total area: 100 m2) equipped to maintain 2 - 8 C (refrigerated) and 15 - 25 C (fixed) temperature ranges within its company-owned warehouse will allow it to meet the logistics needs of customers in the pharmaceutical industry.

This is by combining temporary storage services using these facilities with Nippon Express's temperature-controlled international transport services.

Nippon Express will be further enhancing its services to meet increasingly sophisticated and diverse pharmaceutical logistics needs and bolstering its efforts on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry, positioned as a priority industry in its current business plan.
