Global logistics giant DHL Supply Chain has launched a new logistics hub in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province, to bolster its transportation and storage capacity for pharmaceutical and life science products that require delicate environmental control.
DHL Supply Chain Korea said on Thursday that a new DHL Health Logistics Hub has been completed in Icheon’s Baeksa. The hub spans 10,000 square meters and is designed to meet the growing demand for highly specialized, compliant health care logistics services here. The new facility is part of a larger 45,500-square-meter warehouse complex developed under DHL’s partnership with real estate asset management firm Qube Industrial in Seoul.
The Icheon hub is built to handle a wide range of temperature-sensitive health care products and offers advanced storage and handling capabilities. It also provides temperature-controlled storage for up to 3,800 pallets, cold-chain storage for up to 1,300 pallets and ultra-low-temperature facilities equipped with freezers capable of maintaining temperatures of minus 20 degrees Celsius and minus 80 degrees Celsius.
