Nippon Express USA's Philadelphia Branch Achieves GDP Certification
Nippon Express USA, Inc., a subsidiary of Nippon Express Holdings, Inc., has recently earned the prestigious Good Distribution Practice (GDP) certification for its pharmaceutical logistics activities at its Philadelphia facility. This notable achievement, effective from November 13, 2024, signifies a strong commitment to quality and safety in the handling of pharmaceutical products.
The certification comes at a time when the demand for high-quality, efficient pharmaceutical logistics is on the rise. The state of Pennsylvania, especially Philadelphia, boasts a robust research and development infrastructure catering to the biomedical sector. This region is home to numerous global pharmaceutical, medical device manufacturers, and innovative biotech companies focusing on advanced therapies, such as gene therapy and regenerative medicine.
The newly certified facility at 212 Elmwood Avenue, Sharon Hill, PA, is noteworthy for its advanced storage capabilities. The warehouse is equipped with sophisticated security features, including surveillance cameras and access control systems, alongside precision temperature control monitors. These systems ensure that pharmaceutical products are stored safely under monitored conditions, which is vital for maintaining their integrity.
Nippon Express’s Philadelphia branch employs a dedicated temperature-controlled storage system that operates in two specific zones: between 2°C to 8°C for refrigerated items and 15°C to 25°C for ambient conditions. Such capabilities allow for the effective management of various pharmaceuticals, ensuring that all products are stored under optimal conditions before they are distributed or forwarded.
With this GDP certification, Nippon Express aims to combine its international temperature-controlled transport services with the capabilities of its certified storage facilities, further enhancing the quality and safety of its pharmaceutical logistics services. This enhancement aligns with the NX Group’s commitment to meeting the increasingly sophisticated and diverse needs of the healthcare sector, which is a priority area in their business strategy.
Currently, the NX Group has established GDP-certified operations in 36 locations across 25 countries worldwide. This expansive network reinforces Nippon Express’s position as a leader in global logistics solutions and strengthens its ability to cater to the requirements of the life sciences sector.
Moreover, by focusing on the healthcare industry, Nippon Express plans to ramp up its global service offerings, ensuring that their logistics solutions are in sync with the trends and demands prevalent in the pharmaceutical sector. The company's vision for future growth includes expanding its GDP network to enhance service capabilities further and better support the life sciences community.
With the recognition of GDP certification, Nippon Express USA is poised to play a crucial role in the distribution of pharmaceutical products, supporting clients with reliable logistics solutions. The future looks promising as the company continues to invest in its capabilities to meet the evolving needs of the healthcare industry, contributing positively to patient care and safety.
