NX Germany's Budapest Branch receives GDP certification

-- Branch provides a high-quality pharmaceutical logistics platform to meet the increasing demand for pharmaceutical logistics --

Nippon Express (Deutschland) GmbH (President: Manabu Asai), a group company of NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS, INC. (President: Satoshi Horikiri), has acquired Good Distribution Practice (GDP) certification for temporary storage and air/ocean freight forwarding operations for pharmaceutical products at its Budapest Branch's warehouse.

Hungary hosts thriving chemical and pharmaceutical industries and a concentration of sites for manufacturing and developing biosimilars. Business growth in pharmaceutical-related sectors is expected to drive future increases in demand for high-quality pharmaceutical logistics.
The Budapest Branch that recently acquired GDP certification is located next to Liszt Ferenc International Airport, making it well suited to handle air freight transport, and boasts a new temperature-controlled facility offering storage in two temperature zones: 2°C to 8°C (refrigerated) and 15°C to 25°C (constant temperature). Combining the NX Group's temperature-controlled international transport services with its temporary storage capabilities enables the Group to provide a safe and high-quality pharmaceutical logistics platform.

The NX Group currently has GDP certification and compliance systems in place at a total of 35 locations in 24 countries/regions worldwide, and is working to further expand its GDP network. The Group will continue stepping up its efforts in the healthcare industry, which is positioned as a priority industry in its business plan, and enhancing and extending services globally to meet increasingly sophisticated and diverse pharmaceutical logistics needs.
