World Courier, Finnair, MHRA, IATA, Teva, GSK, J&J, Sanofi will meet in London this December at Cold Chain Distribution 2016.

Over the last 24 months, we have witnessed market growth and new logistics hubs established around the globe by forwarders and distributors, in order to service and support a more round-the-clock global network for pharmaceutical product supply. Nonetheless, challenges remain with the increasingly fragile biologics product and tightened GDP regulations.
