Storage, Cargo Handling, and Shipping Services
Providing one-stop logistics services from customs clearance to storage and delivery
Over 20 years of pharmaceutical logistics experience
The ITOCHU LOGISTICS Group has been involved in pharmaceutical logistics for more than two decades. We provide a wide range of services, including the operation of a dedicated center for pharmaceuticals with the concept of collaboration, quality control compliant with GDP guidelines*1, and the acquisition of business licenses such as "wholesale business" and "manufacturing business". We also offer integrated international services by air freight forwarding, including export packaging.
*1 GDP (Good Distribution Practice) refers to the "Guidelines for the Proper Distribution of Pharmaceuticals" issued by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare
We offer pharmaceutical transportation services according to the cargo type and controlled temperature zone of the products. Since 2015, we have been offering a refrigerated pharmaceutical transportation service using refrigerant and vacuum-insulated boxes, and provide temperature fluctuation data for each transportation by packaging a dedicated temperature logger in each box.
We established a new Hokkaido base for a customer who handles goods at two bases in the Eastern and Western regions of Japan. By delivering from the Hokkaido base, transport time has been reduced by one day compared to that from the Kanto region. As a result, the tight schedule of having the consignment company pick up the shipment received in the morning on the same day at noon, but we were able to change the schedule to pick it up the next day.
This has enabled us to contact the consignment company well in advance and to reduce long-distance transportation between bases, thereby realizing white logistics and contributing to our customers' BCP*1 measures.
*1 BCP (Business Continuity Plan) is a plan to minimize damage to business assets and enable the continuation or early recovery of core business operations in an emergency situation such as a natural disaster
