What’s in the hub?
Spanning 5,600 square metres, the hub includes temperature-controlled environments, including ambient storage, cold rooms, and freezer units, to meet a wide range of pharmaceutical needs.
The facility offers end-to-end logistics services, including freight, customs clearance, warehousing, and last-mile delivery — all within a single integrated operation.
