China's pharmaceutical market,the world's second largest,is enjoying steady expansion driven by an aging society,increasing per-capita income and consequently rising medical spending,and further growth is anticipated in future.

The GDP certification obtained by NE China for its Shanghai Pudong Airport CFS covers a full range of import arrangements extending from the arrival of import air cargo at the airport to customs clearance and bonded outbound shipment,and NE China uses a dedicated refrigerated facility belonging to Eastern Air Logistics Co.,Ltd. that offers temperature-controlled storage in two temperature ranges: 2 C-8 C (refrigerated) and 15 C-25 C (room temperature).

Nippon Express will continue enhancing its services to meet ever more sophisticated and diverse pharmaceutical logistics needs,and strengthening its initiatives on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry,positioned as a priority industry in the Company's management plan.
