" China is poised to become the fourth largest pharmaceutical market by 2012," says Henning Voss, Director for World Courier, North Asia . "With our new operational network in place, we look forward to helping pharmaceutical companies, central labs and clinical research organizations improve their supply chain efficiencies in this vital, but complex country."
" China presents many infrastructure challenges for temperature-controlled and clinical trial shipments," says Mr. Voss. "In addition, domestic transport companies do not yet fully understand the many international standards at play in handling these types of shipments. As such, the real concerns and requirements of major pharmaceutical clients in China have not been adequately addressed until now."
With the establishment of World Courier's new domestic network in China , pharmaceutical clients can be assured that all temperature-sensitive and clinical trial shipments are handled by trained personnel according to established SOPs and international IATA transportation standards. Only validated packaging complete with industry-accepted cold-pack mediums and temperature recording devices are used.
Temperature-controlled shipments can now be handled directly between the following cities: Beijing , Changchun, Chengdu , Chongqing , Dalian , Fuzhou , Guangzhou , Haikou , Hangzhou , Harbin , Hefei , Hohhot , Jinan , Kunming , Lanzhou , Lhasa , Nanchang , Nanjing , Nanning , Ningbo , Qingdao , Shanghai , Shantou , Shenyang , Shenzhen, Suzhou , Taiyun, Tianjin , Urumqi , Wenzhou , Wuhan , Wuxi , Xiamen , Xi'an , Zhengzhou and Zhuhai.
