Nippon Express (UK) receives WDA and GDP certification for its warehouse near Heathrow Airport
The company's new air-conditioned facility offers temperature-controlled storage in three ranges: frozen, refrigerated, and room-temperature.
Nippon Express (UK) Co, Ltd (NEUK), a local subsidiary of Nippon Express Co. Ltd. based in Tokyo, has been officially granted Wholesale Distribution Authorisation (WDA) and Good Distribution Practice (GDP) certification for its warehouse near London Heathrow Airport, in recognition of the facility's compliance with the standards for proper distribution of pharmaceuticals established by the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
The UK is home to leading global pharmaceutical companies, and numerous small and medium-sized biopharmaceutical firms, as well as world-class universities/research institutions, and has consequently become a major development and manufacturing base for pharmaceuticals.
An air-conditioned facility has been recently installed in the NEUK warehouse, offering temperature-controlled storage in three ranges: frozen (-18 ˚C), refrigerated (2–8 ˚C), and room-temperature (15–25 ˚C).
NEUK will be combining temporary storage operations using this facility with Nippon Express's temperature-controlled international transport services to meet the logistics needs of customers in the pharmaceutical industry.
