Bolloré Logistics Korea is officially the first transport and logistics company in South Korea to independently achieve the International Air Transport Association (IATA) as Center of Excellence for Independent Validators in Pharmaceutical Logistics (CEIV Pharma). 

The certification is a globally recognized and standardized certification for healthcare airfreight shipments. It is meant to train all the air cargo industry operators on the proper Cold Chain handling of pharmaceutical products requiring temperature control. 

Bolloré Logistics Korea began the certification process according to the IATA CEIV Pharma standard in the third quarter of 2015. The CEIV committee has worked with dedication to bring the internal processes to required expectations. 

“We are proud to be the first CEIV Pharma logistics company independently certified in Korea. The certification reinforces our commitment to provide the highest standards of professionalism in handling the transportation of high-value pharmaceutical products under strict temperature and time-sensitive conditions,” said Thibault Janssens, managing director of Bolloré Logistics Korea.

The CEIV certification will allow Bolloré Logistics Korea to have a competitive/strategic advantage in the healthcare logistics market with a stronger, more competitive and enhanced air cargo service. 

The Center of Excellence for CEIV Pharma addresses the industry’s need for more safety, security, compliance, and efficiency, by the creation of a globally consistent and recognized pharmaceutical product handling certification.
