The UK is home to leading global pharmaceutical companies,and numerous small and medium-sized biopharmaceutical firms as well as world-class universities/research institutions,and has consequently become a major development and manufacturing base for pharmaceuticals.

An air-conditioned facility has been recently installed in this NEUK warehouse,offering temperature-controlled storage in three ranges: frozen (-18C),refrigerated (2C-8C),and room-temperature (15C-25C). NEUK will be combining temporary storage operations using this facility with Nippon Express's temperature-controlled international transport services to meet the logistics needs of customers in the pharmaceutical industry.

Nippon Express will continue enhancing its services to satisfy increasingly sophisticated and diverse needs pertinent to pharmaceuticals,and stepping up its efforts on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry,positioned as a priority industry in its Management Plan.
