Warehousing
Logistics4Pharma provides specialised warehousing solutions for pharmaceutical products, including active ingredients (APIs) and medical devices. At our facility in Kelsterbach, near Frankfurt Airport, we store your products in a GDP-compliant, temperature-controlled environment, in either our temporary storage warehouse or our customs warehouse. Depending on your needs, we can also hold larger quantities in stock to respond promptly to call-offs, and we work with your team to develop solutions tailored to your products and processes.
Temperature-Controlled Storage
Our warehousing solutions in Kelsterbach cover a wide temperature range from +25 °C to −80 °C. All ranges are monitored by a validated system and are suitable for temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products. At international destinations, we use our global partner network to meet product-specific temperature requirements throughout the supply chain.
Temperature Ranges of Our Warehousing Solutions:
| Temperature Range | Temperature |
|---|---|
| Controlled Room Temperature | +15 °C to +25 °C |
| Refrigerated | +2 °C to +8 °C |
| Frozen | −25 °C to −15 °C |
| Deep Frozen | −40 °C to −35 °C |
| Ultra Deep Frozen | Down to −80 °C |
Temporary Storage Warehouse
At our Kelsterbach facility, we complement our warehousing and cold chain logistics with a temporary storage warehouse. It supports the customs and logistics handling of international shipments after their arrival in Germany. Non-Union goods are stored there after being presented to customs, until their further customs handling takes place. In doing so, we comply with the applicable customs requirements and prepare the next steps.
For international pharmaceutical shipments, close coordination between goods receipt, customs formalities and logistics is particularly important. We coordinate airport collection, goods receipt, storage and onward transportation, including in transit from one temporary storage facility to another.
Goods may remain in the temporary storage warehouse for up to 90 days. Within this period, they must be imported, transported or exported. If this is not sufficient, or if the warehouse is to be used for longer for strategic reasons, we transfer the goods into our customs warehouse.
Customs Warehouse
Our GDP-compliant customs warehouse combines the storage of non-Union goods with specialised conditions for temperature-sensitive products. No import duties are payable upon entry into the warehouse. Unlike the temporary storage warehouse, the storage period is not limited: goods remain until they are placed under another customs procedure.
A key advantage: you can hold your stock in Germany, and customs duties only become payable when you release goods from the warehouse into free circulation. Goods can also be brought to Europe even if customs clearance and market entry are not yet possible, for example because an import licence is still missing. The required authorisations for the subsequent import must still be observed.
Store, Pack, Transport
We store, pack and transport your goods, including passive temperature-controlled packaging in various sizes. Customs clearance, transit documents and airport transfers complement our offering.
