29 sites audited: doubly successful with certification marathon
GDP certification is particularly important for trans-o-flex because the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries are the logistics service provider’s core customers. "Despite the GDP certification, we still have numerous customer audits and can keep these individual audits to a minimum by providing proof of the GDP certificate," Albeck continues. In total, trans-o-flex has received four GDP certificates in the current recertification round. "Each network, or independent logistics business unit, needs a separate certificate." For example, TÜV Süd has issued GDP certificates for trans-o-flex Express, for trans-o-flex ThermoMed (one for the organisation in Germany, one for Austria) and for trans-o-flex Logistik-Service, which implements warehouse and contract logistics solutions at its five sites.
trans-o-flex’s core areas of expertise are logistics solutions for the healthcare, cosmetics and consumer electronics industries and other sensitive goods. The company has built up transport networks to carry goods throughout Germany and Austria at 15 to 25 degrees Celsius or 2 to 8 degrees Celsius actively temperature-controlled and documented in accordance with EU regulations for healthcare transport. These EU-GDPs require the highest standards for safety and security, cleanliness, reliability and transparency, from which all trans-o-flex customers benefit. trans-o-flex operates internationally via the networks EUROTEMP (temperature-controlled logistics) and EURODIS (in 36 European countries). In contrast to parcel and groupage services, trans-o-flex delivers parcels and pallets on a consolidated basis. trans-o-flex Express offers numerous express and time-slot deliveries, special services such as hazardous goods transportation (without minimum quantity regulation), consignment consolidation and direct deliveries. The range of services is complemented by warehousing, order picking and individual value-added services such as serialisation and deserialisation of pharmaceuticals. This means that the company covers the entire logistics chain from procurement through to fulfilment. The annual turnover of the trans-o-flex companies, which employ a total of around 1,902 people (head count), amounted to around 617 million euros in 2022.
