Kool-ex: 'Freezing' the logistics needs of pharma supply chain

As and when India surpasses the hurdle in search of the corona virus vaccine, it will also have to gear up for the stringent temperature requirements for its effective transportation. In this regard, Kool-ex’s plan to set up the largest of its kind, state-of-art pharmaceutical storage footprint in the country will prove to be the right step towards taking care of this critical logistics’ need. This will be done in collaboration with India’s largest industrial and logistics real estate developer, IndoSpace, reports Rajesh Rajgor

The unprecedented impact of the pandemic has made it pertinent for the logistics industry to focus on quality, hygiene, visibility and sustainability of the products. It is more so in the high-value products of the pharmaceutical industries. While vaccines get developed and Indian pharmaceutical companies begin their effective transportation, Kool-ex has geared up to ensure an efficient logistics’ network. Building on its 23 years of pharmaceutical cold chain transportation expertise, Kool-ex is now entering into warehousing, secondary distribution, passive packaging and blockchain for the pharmaceutical sector, making it an end-to-end pharmaceutical supply chain player.

Elaborating on this development, Rahul Agarwal, Managing Director, Kool-ex, said, “We aspire to become the largest dedicated player in the pharmaceutical warehousing space offering over 10-11 GDP (goods distribution practices) and GWP (goods warehousing practices)-compliant, multiclient, pharmaceutical distribution centres over the next three years. With a unique combination of primary and secondary distribution, warehousing, passive packaging and blockchain, we are moving towards the ambition of becoming a preferred full stack supply chain solution partner to the pharmaceutical industry.”

“Our focus continues on offering high-quality integrated solutions as well as flexibility in adapting to the pharmaceutical industry’s specific requirements with a pay-per-use model. We have also recently developed portable cold rooms for storage in minus 20 degrees Celsius and cryostorage or transport solutions in the minus 80 degrees Celsius space. This will make us a complete solutions provider,” he added.
