DHL Supply Chain has opened a new distribution center for life sciences and healthcare products in Mumbai, India.
The facility is located within a 600,000-square-feet multi-customer distribution center, that uses “green” technology such as LED lighting and wind-assisted ventilation.
DHL said it will offer services such as postponement services, clinical trials logistics and order-to-cash.
“Looking to 2015 and beyond, India, China and other emerging markets are expected to be the key drivers of growth in the pharmaceutical and medical device sectors,” said Angelos Orfanos, DHL’s president and global head of life sciences and health, in a statement.
DHL operates more than 150 life sciences facilities worldwide.
