Global logistics provider Agility has set up the first temperature-controlled life sciences storage and handling facility at Hyderabad International airport.
According to the company, the storage centre, spread across an area of 6,000 square feet, is strategically placed to serve pharmaceutical manufacturers in Hyderabad, Goa, Pune, Visakhapatnam and Bengaluru.
The centre will operate as the primary warehouse for solutions from va-Q-tec, an advanced passive packaging company specialising in valuable, secured cold chain products.
"Life sciences is one of the cornerstones of the Indian economy, with exports expected to grow an astonishing 60% in 2017. The new centre will help fast-growing Indian life sciences companies to meet the rising global demand for their products," commented Detley Janik, CEO of Agility South Asia.
