> Kühne+Nagel is expanding its pharmaceutical logistics in Frankfurt. The new center is specifically designed for temperature-critical healthcare products.

Kühne+Nagel has opened a new logistics center for pharmaceutical and healthcare products at Frankfurt Airport. The facility comprises 3,505 square meters and is specifically designed for temperature-sensitive cargo.

The location is intended to integrate warehousing, handling, and international air freight more closely together. For pharmaceuticals, this is critical because many products must be transported only within narrow temperature ranges.

Kühne+Nagel is thereby further expanding its global HealthChain network. According to the company, it operates more than 270 appropriately certified locations worldwide.

Frankfurt plays an important role in this strategy. The airport is one of Europe's major air freight hubs and offers numerous long-haul connections.

In pharma, the flight connection is not the only factor. What is decisive is continuous temperature control, rapid handovers, and as few open interfaces as possible.

For freight forwarders, a specialized center offers more options for sensitive shipments. Nevertheless, documentation, packaging, lead time, and cut-off remain critical factors.

In short: Kühne+Nagel is strategically expanding Frankfurt as a pharma hub.
