GDP Neele-Vat ’s wholesale permit for Maasvlakte has been granted!

GPD Wholesale license received

After exactly one year of hard work and intensive preparations, we are proud to announce that we have received the “GDP” wholesale license for our facility at Neele-Vat Maasvlakte. This means we now officially meet all the strict requirements for the storage and distribution of pharmaceuticals. A great achievement that was not accomplished without a struggle!

What is a “GDP” Wholesale License?

A Good Distribution Practice (GDP) wholesale license is a certification that demonstrates a company's compliance with strict guidelines for the transportation and storage of pharmaceutical products. These guidelines are designed to ensure the quality and integrity of pharmaceuticals throughout the logistics chain, from manufacturer to end user. Obtaining a GDP wholesale license requires compliance with specific requirements on temperature management, traceability, hygiene and documentation, with the aim of ensuring the safety and effectiveness of medicines.

Successful collaboration ensures great results

The process of securing this permit required effort from several teams. Quality, as part of SHEQ, in the lead, together with colleagues from Neele-Vat Maasvlakte and Business Development. Together we made sure that everything - from temperature controls in the Bunker to extensive documentation - was taken care of to perfection. Inspections, Audits and checks passed, all thanks to the great cooperation between the departments.

A few highlights from the trail:

• Strict procedures and rules: Carefully laid down how every detail of the process should proceed around the Medical Goods and the systematics around it.
• Documentation in top form: From the first page to the last, everything had to be perfect.
• Teamwork of the highest level: From SHEQ to the Maasvlakte team and Business Development, everyone contributed.

Having achieved this important milestone, we can confidently continue to build for the future and expand our services around Medical Goods.
