Dedicated facilities
We take sensitive shipments seriously, which is why we have dedicated pharma SOPs to look after them every step of the way. Our suppliers and processes are reviewed regularly and rigorously, so we can be confident that quality is never compromised.
GDP (WDA) accredited, our global operation has the stamp of approval from the MHRA for our processes, training and quality management. Our temperature-sensitive shipments also benefit from co-location in major UK and US gateways with Delta Cargo, who continue to expand their IATA CEIV programme.
As part of our supplier management, we assess our partners’ capabilities and work alongside them for continuous improvement in GDP compliance.
Active containers
Active containers are designed to keep the contents at a specific temperature throughout the entire journey, by actively heating or cooling the air inside. Highly recommended for when you need to maintain a precise temperature to preserve the quality and integrity of your precious cargo.
We're proud to work closely with both CSafe and Envirotainer to bring you their full range of active containers, so we're able to maintain the efficacy of your sensitive products until they arrive at their final destination, no matter the climate.
We don’t hold a stock of these containers, but we can lease them on request, or you can source them yourselves directly from the supplier.
