As one of the world's leading manufacturers and exporters of pharmaceutical products as well as home to the National Institute for Bioprocess Research and Training (NIBRT), Ireland has attracted a broad range of life science companies. All the world's top 10 pharmaceutical companies have set up operations in Ireland, and the country is expected to continue seeing growth in businesses related to pharmaceuticals.
The recently GDP-certified NX Ireland Contract Logistics Centre is located approximately 3㎞ from Dublin International Airport and 12㎞ from Dublin Port, making it an ideal site for both air and sea transport. The facility is equipped with a temperature-controlled facility (2,509 ㎡) that can accommodate two temperature ranges - refrigerated storage from 2℃ to 8℃ and constant-temperature storage from 15℃ to 25℃ - and provides a safe and high-quality pharmaceutical logistics platform by combining the NX Group's international temperature-controlled transport services with temporary storage capabilities in a GDP-certified warehouse.
The NX Group will continue strengthening its efforts in the pharmaceutical industry, which is positioned as a priority industry in the Group's current business plan, as well as expanding and developing its services globally to meet increasingly sophisticated and diverse pharmaceutical logistics needs.
