Frankfurt Cargo Services (FCS) has been certified by European Union Good Distribution Practice (GDP).
The EU GDP certification comes just a few weeks after FCS received IATA CEIV certification. The handler said the certification marks another important step in the company’s expansion of pharmaceutical logistics activities and ramping up preparations to handle sensitive coronavirus vaccine consignments.
GDP certification involves checking the quality of the distribution chain for medical goods and ensuring that they are intact all the way from the producer to the end customer according to EU standards.
Claus Wagner, Managing Director of FCS said, “We are very proud to have received our GDP certification after having also achieved the CEIV certification recently. FCS is now able to distinguish itself from other service providers. Despite the challenges of this year, my team has been working diligently to ensure FCS is well prepared for pharma handling now and in the future.”
