GEODIS, a world leader in transport and logistics, announced the renewal of its CEIV Pharma certification in Poland and also the obtention of the Good Distribution Practice (GDP) certification for its Stryków Dobra contract logistics site. Developed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the CEIV Pharma (Center of Excellence for Independent Validators in Pharmaceutical Logistics) certification is recognized as one of the industry’s highest quality standards for pharmaceutical air cargo. It harmonizes global handling practices by ensuring compliance with international regulations, including the European Union’s Good Distribution Practice (GDP) guidelines, and confirms the ability to maintain validated processes, robust quality management systems and strict temperature control throughout transportation.
The renewal also reflects the continued expansion of GEODIS’ certified healthcare network in Europe, where the company now operates IATA CEIV Pharma-certified capabilities across 13 countries: Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Across this network, GEODIS provides certified pharmaceutical logistics services through key operational hubs including Amsterdam, Brussels, Budapest, Copenhagen, Dublin, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Manchester, Milan, Stockholm, Warsaw and Zurich.
Complementing the air freight certification, GEODIS has also obtained GDP certification for its Stryków Dobra branch in Poland. The certification confirms compliance with the most stringent European Union and national regulations governing the storage, transport and distribution of pharmaceutical products and recognizes the site’s long-standing operational excellence in healthcare logistics.
Together, these certifications further enhance GEODIS’ integrated pharmaceutical logistics offering in Poland, combining certified air freight operations with GDP-compliant contract logistics. In the country, GEODIS operates 15 logistics warehouses totaling approximately 195,000 m², including a dedicated pharmaceutical facility in Pruszków, while its Freight Forwarding network handles more than 2,400 tonnes of air freight annually through four locations.
