CEVA boosts pharma services at new Dublin temperature-controlled facility
DUTCH based CEVA Logistics has boosted its operations in Ireland with the introduction of a new 15,000 square foot temperature-controlled facility in Dublin.
The new facility has been constructed as an insulated building-within-a-building on the city's airport industrial park and will allow the forwarder to "better serve customers with medical products requiring a constant temperature range of 15-25 degrees Celsius".
The facility enables CEVA to provide customers with a 24/7 service for any goods moving through the unit as it is now fully authorised under the HPRA (Health Products Regulatory Authority) Wholesalers Distribution Authorisation scheme.
In order to receive an authorisation to wholesale medicinal products, a potential authorisation/licence holder must show compliance with the principle of Good Distribution Practice (GDP).
The new Dublin unit also features state-of-the-art air conditioning, heating and cooling technology complete with a Sintra system which provides exceptional levels of clean air by using perforated ducts to diffuse the air within the facility.
Having specialist clean room facilities, CEVA can also offer customers additional value-added services including re-kitting and reassembling in a controlled environment, London's Air Cargo News reported.
Said CEVA country manager Gary O'Connor: "Temperature controlled logistics are an increasingly important part of the Irish export market as life sciences manufacturing continues to grow in the country.
"This will enable us to store up to 2,100 pallets of medical products within the 15-25-degree temperature range of customers needing temperature-controlled storage as an essential part of their business," said Mr O'Connor.
The next stage of the facility's development will be the introduction of on-site pharmacists at the end of the year.
