Company Offers an Ideal Mix of Logistics, Storage, and Expedited Transportation Services for Pharmaceutical Organizations in Asia/Pacific Region
Melbourne, Australia, May 21, 2010 – MNX, a leading provider of expedited transportation and logistical services, announced that it has opened its custom Temperature Controlled Distribution center in Melbourne to support the growing pharmaceutical industry in Australia and the Pacific Rim region. Combined with MNX’s logistics and time critical transportation services, the new facility will offer an integrated solution for the handling and distribution of temperature-sensitive drugs, biopharmaceuticals and clinical materials.
The facility offers temperature-controlled storage ranging from -8ºC to +25ºC. The optimal environments offered by MNX’s facility combat the temperature extremes of the region. Efficient and compliant storage and transportation is a critical aspect in the development and distribution of pharmaceutical products throughout Australia and surrounding countries in the region.
MNX’s temperature-controlled solution provides a number of strategic benefits for life sciences organizations including laboratories, research facilities, and medical device manufacturers. These benefits include extending assured product quality along the supply and distribution chain, streamlining the regulatory permit process, and reducing customs delays and transportation costs.
“The international research community faces significant logistical challenges in managing distribution around the world,” stated Scott Cannon, MNX CEO. “Meeting the specialized requirements of pharmaceutical organizations and clinical trial logistics has been a logical extension of MNX’s resource set over the last three years. Not only do we know what it takes to move critical items quickly around the world, we know cold chain management. This is embodied by our new facility in Melbourne.”
