The importance of a consistent, uninterrupted cold chain is well known across the pharmaceutical industry. To provide high-quality temperature management, Saudia Cargo is launching its Pharma.2.World Active for the transportation of vital temperature-controlled pharmaceuticals.
Having an unbroken cold chain is an integral part of the requirement for international good distribution practice (GDP), so – whether it’s sensitive vaccines, biotech products or other materials – quality and reliability in transportation is of the upmost importance.
Saudia Cargo knows the importance of temperature management for those vital pharmaceutical and life sciences products that need to be transported safely to their final destination. That’s why it is delighted to announce the introduction of its new Pharma.2.World Active product. Using the latest design in sophisticated active-heating and cooling cargo containers, the product is able to maintain the correct internal temperatures required for the transportation of essential pharmaceutical and life sciences products, whatever the external temperature may be.
"We are very excited to be launching the first phase of Pharma.2.World Active," commented Nabil Khojah, CEO at Saudia Cargo. "This new product will enable us to offer a reliable, high-quality service to the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries for which temperature management is crucial."
