In October 2025, Speed Global officially obtained the WHO GDP certification issued by the World Health Organization. This milestone marks that the company’s end-to-end operational systems for pharmaceutical warehousing, distribution and cross-border temperature-controlled logistics have fully met the highest regulatory standards for pharmaceutical distribution in the European Union. As one of the few professional pharmaceutical cold chain service providers in China holding both domestic GSP and EU GDP dual qualifications, Speed Global has built a solid international compliance foundation for the import and export distribution business of domestic and foreign pharmaceutical enterprises.
Formulated by the World Health Organization, WHO GDP is an authoritative global access standard for pharmaceutical distribution. It sets stringent audit requirements for the warehouse area management, temperature control monitoring, batch traceability, personnel management and emergency response of special pharmaceuticals including vaccines, biological products, innovative drugs and clinical reagents, serving as a mandatory pre-qualification for pharmaceuticals to enter the EU market for local transshipment and distribution. Covering six core modules including full-temperature-range warehouse zoning, 24/7 uninterrupted temperature and humidity traceability, tamper-proof data retention, full-process risk control and professional compliance team management, the certification audit has fully validated the standardization, normalization and international competitiveness of Speed Global’s pharmaceutical distribution business.
With years of in-depth dedication to cross-border life science cold chain logistics, Speed Global has established a full-temperature-range warehousing and distribution system covering liquid nitrogen ultra-low temperature to normal temperature. The company has independently developed long-lasting passive aviation refrigeration containers and built a global pharmaceutical cold chain transportation network connecting China and Europe and covering the world. Equipped with multiple authoritative certifications including AEO Advanced Customs Certification, IATA Pharmaceutical Logistics Qualification and ISO quality management system certification, Speed Global has formed a complete qualification matrix for pharmaceutical logistics services. Supported by mature hardware facilities and digital management and control systems, the company realizes full-process traceability of circulation information for every batch of pharmaceuticals. All temperature control data is retained for one year after the expiration of pharmaceutical products. Supporting mechanisms such as temperature zone abnormal early warning and cold chain interruption emergency plans fully comply with EU regulatory standards, meeting the high-standard distribution requirements for high-value biotech drugs and clinical trial samples.
The acquisition of the GDP certification complements Speed Global’s core capabilities in global compliant distribution. For domestic innovative pharmaceutical enterprises, there is no need to cooperate with overseas third-party warehouse service providers. They can complete the full-process operations of global pharmaceutical transshipment, distribution and storage through Speed Global’s services, which greatly simplifies overseas expansion procedures and reduces cross-border compliance costs. Meanwhile, the company is capable of undertaking outsourced distribution businesses for multinational pharmaceutical enterprises, further expanding its high-value pharmaceutical cold chain service sectors.
As a participating drafter of national industrial standards for China’s pharmaceutical cold chain industry, Speed Global takes the acquisition of WHO GDP certification as a new starting point to continuously promote the alignment of domestic pharmaceutical circulation specifications with advanced international standards. In the future, the company will further optimize its global pharmaceutical distribution compliance system and upgrade its digital temperature control and traceability platform. Leveraging its dual-standard compliance advantages, Speed Global will provide safer, more efficient and more compliant global cold chain distribution solutions for domestic and foreign pharmaceutical enterprises, empowering the high-quality development of the global pharmaceutical circulation industry with professional logistics services.
