Cargologic, ground-handling partner of Swiss WorldCargo, has had its Zurich station certified as a Center of Excellence for Independent Validators by the International Air Transport Association for the handling of pharmaceutical products.

“Besides the regulatory landscape becoming more and more complex when it comes to the transportation of pharmaceutical products, the industry demands for more and more customized solutions and we believe that with our vertical-industry approach and the choice of the right business partners such as Cargologic we are on the right track to meet the needs of the industry,” said Susanne Walker, vertical-industry manager of pharma and healthcare at Swiss WorldCargo. “With Cargologic completing the CEIV process, we can offer pharmaceutical-handling excellence at Zurich Hub and meet our customers’ needs for more safety, security, compliance and efficiency.”

The CEIV Pharma programme was established by IATA to satisfy the requirements of pharmaceutical manufacturers by setting up a consistent network of certified trade lanes that all meet the same set of standards.

Cargologic also has operations in Basel, Berne and Lugano.
