Nippon Express USA Chicago warehouse granted GDP certification

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 -- Nippon Express USA Inc (NE USA), a local subsidiary of Nippon Express Co Ltd based in Tokyo, has announced that its Chicago warehouse has obtained Good Distribution Practice (GDP) certification.

According to a statement, NEX Pharma Solutions-Chicago, a temperature-controlled facility specialising in medical and pharmaceutical products, within its warehouse located near Chicago O'Hare Airport began operations on Sept 1.

The new facility will enable NE USA to provide safe and high-quality temperature-controlled transport services and to meet customer needs with GDP-compliant facilities and operating frameworks. NE USA's Chicago location is its largest air cargo hub, a gateway that operates regular shuttle trucks to transport cargo arriving at Chicago O'Hare Airport to company locations in other Midwestern states for delivery as early as the following morning. Strict compliance with GDP and other quality standards is required worldwide when handing pharmaceuticals, and customers are demanding increasingly higher-quality standards for temperature control during transport/storage.
