Bolloré Logistics and Strasbourg Airport announced the launch of the construction of a logistics center dedicated to the pharmaceutical industry on the Skyparc, Strasbourg Airport’s business park.

In a statement, Bolloré said the 10,000 m², temperature-controlled warehouse, operated by Bolloré Logistics under its own name, will receive its first flows of pharmaceutical products in January 2022.

Its location close to airport facilities, freight operators, airlines, customs, and police forces, will help to streamline operations while providing excellent motorway connections.

The facility will consist of two temperature-controlled cells, at +2°/+8°C and +15°/+25°C, reserved for high-value-added storage and logistics operations including the processing of export flows by air.

“With this new logistics center, the largest in our pharmaceutical network, Bolloré Logistics demonstrates its ambition to continue investing in Europe with the creation of new platforms built on this model. This infrastructure, which integrates into a secure and innovative environment, will also allow us to support our customers in the expansion of their activity related to the arrival of new products,” states Brice Bellin, Healthcare & Life Science Director for Europe at Bolloré Logistics.

Renaud Paubelle, CEO of Strasbourg Airport, noted that the health crisis led the gateway to rethink its economic model, particularly in terms of leveraging the available land in an efficient and sustainable way.
