Kuehne + Nagel Offers Healthcare and Pharma Customers Top Shipment Care

Logistics Insight Asia - Industry News, 28/2/2008

Kuehne + Nagel has gained Envirotainer’s QEP accreditation at more than 50 key airfreight stations across the world, including major pharmaceutical and healthcare hubs. The company is the first global logistics provider to have this certification in place on such a scale. Customers benefit from best-in-class temperature-sensitive handling expertise.

The Qualified Envirotainer Provider (QEP) program was developed by Envirotainer to enhance the quality levels in cold chain management in the air forwarding industry. Last June, Kuehne + Nagel was the first logistics provider to announce QEP certification at multiple stations (29) and has now expanded this to most of the world’s key pharma and healthcare hubs.

This year, the company plans to add some 10 further stations, including South America and Africa. The accredited airfreight stations fully comply with the high standards regarding the professional handling of Envirotainers, as well as having the experts and operating procedures in place to ensure seamless cold chain integrity for all kinds of highly temperature-sensitive air cargo regardless of cooling packaging used (active/passive).
