London, UK: Ceva Logistics has started a new logistics offshoot to focus on temperature-controlled services.
Ceva is to open a network of more than 40 airfreight stations by the end of 2021. Some of the stations will also offer other services, such as contract logistics support.
The stations will allow Ceva to service major healthcare gateways in regional markets, and to also supply more than 1,450 healthcare trade lanes globally. Through the network, Ceva will welcome a broad range of customer shipments in conjunction with its temperature-sensitive packaging solutions, including active and passive packaging, as well as solutions for out-of-gauge goods.
Niels Van Namen, executive vice president of Ceva’s Global Healthcare Sector said: “Our customers supply the vaccines, medical devices, medication and other support products on which patients around the world depend.”
Mathieu Friedberg, chief executive, Ceva Logistics added: “The global healthcare market has seen enormous change over the last year as a result of the pandemic that continues to affect daily life. The pandemic is also combining with the advance of technology and at-home treatment to usher in a new era of healthcare.”
