Movianto, a division of Yusen Logistics, has substantially boosted the storage capabilities of its healthcare logistics center located in Aalst, Belgium. This expansion has almost doubled the facility's temperature-controlled pallet capacity, increasing it from 14,000 to 25,000 positions. The upgrade directly addresses the rising demand for specialized pharmaceutical and healthcare logistics services.
The facility now offers comprehensive storage solutions across multiple temperature ranges, including ambient (15–25°C), refrigerated (2–8°C), frozen (–20°C), and ultra-cold (–80°C). This diverse range ensures that various sensitive pharmaceutical and healthcare products can be stored under optimal conditions.
For freight forwarders and logistics professionals, this expansion signifies enhanced capacity and specialized handling for pharmaceutical shipments into and out of Europe. It provides a more robust infrastructure for cold chain logistics, potentially improving lead times and reliability for temperature-sensitive cargo. This development is particularly relevant for forwarders managing complex pharma supply chains, offering more options for warehousing and distribution in a key European hub.
