Global logistics provider GEODIS officially started the operation of its new 5,500 m² site in Schiphol on 6 October providing services to the pharma and healthcare sectors.
According to the company, “this new location is next to the existing site and will expand GEODIS’ footprint in pharma and healthcare, which is already well-established at the logistics operator’s Venlo site with a significant presence in contract logistics for customers in both sectors.”
Moreover, the new Schiphol-Rijk investment will focus on freight forwarding and be part of GEODIS’ worldwide cross docking network for ambient and cold chain products.
Additionally, the new location is TAPA-A rated for air freight and holds the appropriate CEIV Pharma certification for handling goods in the 15-25 °C and 2-8 °C ranges.
Mark van den Assem, managing director of GEODIS Benelux, commented, “Increasing the synergy between our Contract Logistics and Freight Forwarding lines of business is a crucial part of our growth strategy and will have significant benefits to the supply chain needs of our customers.”
