Kuehne+Nagel has opened a 3,505sq m healthcare logistics centre at Frankfurt Airport, for temperature-sensitive products. It builds on a series of recent healthcare logistics developments in Frankfurt. Earlier this year, Frankfurt was added to Inspire, Kuehne+Nagel’s Boeing 747-8F freighter network, and the Frankfurt-Atlanta Cool Corridor for temperature-sensitive healthcare shipments was launched.
Located in the Airport’s Cargo City South within a Kuehne+Nagel-owned 13,000 sqm complex, the HealthChain-certified facility offers direct tarmac access and connections to handling areas, helping reduce transit times and product exposure during transfers. The dedicated GDP-compliant environment offers approximately 2,500 sqm of controlled room temperature storage (+15°C to +25°C), more than 500 sqm of cold chain storage (+2°C to +8°C), and ultra-low temperature freezers capable of storing products at -70°C. There are also temperature-controlled staging areas and specialised pharmaceutical truck handling facilities.
It forms part of the forwarder’s global network of more than 270 HealthChain-certified locations.
