Freight management company Geodis Wilson said it will open a new temperature-controlled warehouse for pharmaceutical products at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris June 3.
The company said the new warehouse is dedicated to the storage and distribution of pharmaceutical products, and complies with all relevant protocols and current standards in the sector. The facility offers:

' X-ray security checks.
' Temperature-controlled transit storage.
' Shipment preparation.
' Export customs clearance formalities.
' Handover to airlines.
' Inventory, reverse management and quarantine facilities.
The temperature-controlled area is divided into two sections, offering storage at 2 to 8 degree Celsius and another with temperatures between 15 and 25 C. In addition, there is a dedicated area for pharmaceutical goods at ambient temperature.
The company said there is a high degree of security at the warehouse, with access restricted to authorized individuals, and is constantly monitored by closed-circuit TV. The warehouse is located in the bonded area of Paris Charles de Gaulle airport, and is available to all modes of transport.
