We guarantee a certified delivery process under GDP conditions

Healthcare

The healthcare and pharmaceutical industries depend on absolute precision when it comes to logistics. In a world where the safe and timely delivery of sensitive medical products can mean the difference between life and death, every link in the supply chain must adhere to the highest standards. At the core of this responsibility is GDP compliance (Good Distribution Practice) — a global framework ensuring the quality and integrity of medicines throughout transport and storage. It governs everything from temperature control and documentation to handling procedures and staff training. As global demand for biologics, vaccines, and temperature-sensitive therapies continues to grow, so too does the complexity of transporting them. Airfreight hubs and intermodal transitions expose pharmaceutical cargo to changing conditions, delays, and regulatory hurdles. 

Logistics Under GDP Compliance

Moving Medicines with Integrity

It takes a logistics partner with specialized expertise to navigate these challenges — one who understands not just the rules, but the responsibility that comes with carrying healthcare products across borders and time zones. Wallenborn Transports SA, based in Luxembourg, has emerged as a trusted and highly capable provider of GDP-compliant healthcare logistics across Europe and beyond. With a dedicated fleet of temperature-controlled vehicles, 24/7 monitoring systems, and validated cold-chain processes, Wallenborn ensures that each shipment maintains its required conditions — whether that means +2°C to +8°C, +15°C to +25°C, or even deep-frozen levels. Their operations are fully certified, their teams highly trained, and their facilities purpose-built for pharma-grade integrity. 

Temperature controlled

As a GDP certified service provider, Wallenborn is responsible for:

  • A legal and regulatory framework to ensure thorough understanding of, and compliance with, GDP regulations and guidelines
  • Implementing and maintaining a robust Quality Management System, including procedures for pre-loading, loading and unloading, and maintaining the correct temperature range for products
  • Supply Chain Mapping to visualise the transportation process and identify potential risks and areas for improvement, and the implementation of safety and security protocols
  • Temperature Mapping and Transport Qualification to ensure products are transported under the correct temperature conditions
  • Staff and driver training to ensure the importance of understanding and maintaining the integrity of the cold chain for temperature-sensitive products Trailer fleet cleaning protocols

Partner review processes are an increasingly frequent requirement of pharma manufacturers and distributors given the highly sensitive nature and value of products being shipped. Each year Wallenborn successfully completes various statutory, ISO, internal and external audits. This means that our logistics services meet all quality requirements and regulations in the field of safety and security, staff training levels, orderliness and cleanliness, availability and strict adherence to standard operating procedures. Vehicles are also inspected along with records for training, vehicle maintenance and temperature calibration and mapping.

We have combined our monitoring and intervention technologies with the latest temperature management techniques. This means we are able to remotely track and control container temperatures and provide full and ‘real-time’ data access to our customers. With the substantial growth of the healthcare logistics market in Europe, GDP guidelines are expected by shippers, distributors and receivers of medical products. We ensure this through our certified cold chain solution that provides consistent reliability and visibility in compliance with strict regulatory requirements.
