Indiana is known as the
pharmaceutical manufacturing capital of the Midwest and is home to
numerous pharmaceutical-related companies. As the life science and
pharmaceutical industries continue to expand, the need for
cGMP*-compliant, temperature-controlled facilities has never been
greater. In response to this need, a portion of MD's existing
Plainfield warehouse will be
upgraded into a cGMP-compliant facility dedicated to pharmaceutical
products.
The warehouse undergoing renovations is the largest in MD's
network at approximately 37,000m2. The North Area (about 18,500m2)
will be converted into a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to
life science and pharmaceutical products. This facility will
comprise a constant-temperature area (15-25C, approximately
14,784m2) and a refrigerated area (2-8C, approximately 3,716m2),
and will be equipped with cutting-edge equipment such as
temperature monitoring systems and generators that can handle power
outages and other problems to provide safe and high-quality
pharmaceutical logistics services. With operations scheduled to
start in October, the renovations are due to be completed by the
end of September.
The NX Group will continue supporting customers in the global
pharmaceutical industry by building a reliable and secure global
pharmaceutical logistics platform with the aim of contributing to
human health around the world.
