Bolloré Logistics to open new pharma unit

Roissy, France: Bolloré Logistics is to handle healthcare products at its Roissy hub with an 800m2 extension of a pharmaceutical unit.

This will give Bolloré Logistics 2,200m2 at its Roissy CDG Hub, divided into three temperature-controlled areas of +2 °C to +8 °C, +15 °C to +25 °C, and -20 °C. These facilities are reserved exclusively for processing healthcare product shipments in a secure environment managed by teams trained in good distribution practices.

The new cell also has a racked area with a 550-pallet capacity as well as a mass storage area. The new facility increases Bolloré Logistics’ capacity to manage cross-docking operations and respond to the specific requirements of each product category, including vaccines and nuclear-medicine products.
