Geodis has renewed its IATA Center of Excellence for Independent Validators (CEIV) Pharma certification for its airfreight operations in Warsaw to demonstrate it is meeting global air cargo handling standards for the vertical.
IATA’s CEIV Pharma certification harmonises global handling practices by ensuring compliance with international regulations, including the European Union’s Good Distribution Practice (GDP) guidelines, and confirms the ability to maintain validated processes, robust quality management systems and strict temperature control throughout transportation.
The renewal also reflects the continued expansion of Geodis’ certified healthcare network in Europe, where the company now operates IATA CEIV Pharma-certified operations across 13 countries: Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK.
Across this network, GEODIS provides certified pharmaceutical logistics services through key operational hubs including Amsterdam, Brussels, Budapest, Copenhagen, Dublin, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Manchester, Milan, Stockholm, Warsaw and Zurich.
Earlier this month, Geodis also achieved IATA CEIV Pharma certification for its Hyderabad site in India.
Further, Geodis has obtained Good Distribution Practice (GDP) certification for its Stryków Dobra contract logistics site in Poland.
The certification confirms compliance with the most stringent European Union and national regulations governing the storage, transport and distribution of pharmaceutical products and recognises the site’s long-standing operational excellence in healthcare logistics.
Overall in Poland, Geodis operates 15 logistics warehouses totalling approximately 195,000 sq m, including a dedicated pharmaceutical facility in Pruszków, while its freight forwarding network handles more than 2,400 tonnes of airfreight annually through four locations.
