This 6,000-sq ft Life Sciences Excellence Centre at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is strategically placed to serve pharma manufacturers in Hyderabad, Goa, Pune, Visakhapatnam and Bengaluru.
It will provide conditioning, preparation and storage of pharmaceutical goods and operate as a control tower for Agility life sciences customers in India.
Global demand risingDetlev Janik, CEO of Agility South Asia, said:
“Life sciences is one of the cornerstones of the Indian economy with exports expected to grow an astonishing 60 per cent in 2017. This new centre will help fast-growing Indian life sciences companies meet the rising global demand for their products.”
Quality checksIt will operate as the primary warehouse for solutions from va-Q-tec, an advanced passive packaging company specialising in high-end, secured cold chain products.
The va-Q-tec’s containers and boxes keep the required temperature for five days or more without any external energy supply.
