FedEx has opened a specialized cooling facility that will provide global access for the healthcare industry, with capabilities to receive, store, kit and pick/pack/ship healthcare products.
The state-of-the-art European Life Science Center in Veldhoven in the Netherlands offers an end-to-end supply chain solution for temperature-sensitive medical storage and transportation, allowing the pharmaceutical, clinical and biologics industries to deliver care for their patients. The Life Science Center Veldhoven is a GDP-licensed (Good Distribution Practices) facility.
This is FedEx’s sixth such facility and is strategically situated in the epicenter of innovation and tech industries and within reach of many Europe-based pharmaceutical, biotech and life science industries.
“Today, we are thrilled to announce the opening of the first European FedEx Life Science Center right here in the Netherlands,” said Marius Penninks, vice president of ground operations at FedEx Benelux. “As global demand for healthcare continues to rise, having a robust logistics solution is crucial for the safe, timely and efficient delivery of medicines, clinical trials and biological products. This new Life Science Center positions us perfectly to be the vital link in the medical transport supply chain, facilitating the timely delivery of care to patients.”
The 1,000m2 warehouse offers four temperature-controlled rooms and freezers for temperatures ranging from -80°C to +25°C. It is monitored 24/7 and each temperature zone has its own alarm system. In addition to cooling facilities, it includes specialized packaging, proactive monitoring solutions and value-added services such as labeling and reverse logistics.
