The GDP certificate is valid for three years and demonstrates the company’s fulfilment of the European Commission Guidelines on Good Distribution Practice of Pharmaceutical Products for human use.
An external auditor analysed the GEFCO quality system and its ability to answer customer requirements in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Greece, Romania and the Group’s headquarters in France.
“GEFCO has a strong history in the life science and healthcare sector and is fully aware of its clients’ stakes. The GDP compliance is further proof of GEFCO’s commitment to supplying secure and compliant Life Sciences and Healthcare shipments and ensuring the integrity of all products,” said Alain Vignon, head of GEFCO Management System.
Earlier this year, GEFCO opened its third life sciences and healthcare dedicated temperature-controlled warehouse near Heathrow Airport in the UK, which complements GEFCO Air & Sea warehouses in Frankfurt, Germany and Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Last year, the Group was also awarded the IATA-CEIV Pharma Certification for its Air & Sea activity in the Netherlands.
