Logistics Company Secures MHRA License at Flagship Warehouse

As part of its multi-million pound investment to extend and upgrade its Top Tier COMAH Euroterminal warehouse at Trafford Park in Manchester, UK, Norbert Dentressangle has successfully secured a Wholesalers License from the Medicines & Healthcare Regulatory Authority (MHRA) for the storage of medicinal and pharmaceutical products at the site.

In addition to increasing racking density to create an 8,000 additional pallet spaces within the 60,960 m2 warehouse, Norbert Dentressangle has established a new dedicated area for the storage of up to 6,000 pallets of medical and pharmaceutical product, initially to serve its new contract with a major chemicals and hygiene products manufacturer. Following an inspection of the site and an audit of Norbert Dentressangle’s operating, quality and health and safety procedures, the MHRA has approved the facility for the storage of medicinal products.

The Euroterminal site also provides a state-of-the-art environment for the storage of hazardous goods including paints, sealants, wet and dry industrial coatings, industrial cleaning chemicals, agrochemicals, plastic derivatives and decorative products.

The ambitious project to increase both capacity at Euroterminal, along with the range of products handled, was carried out on a phased basis, with careful planning and stringent health and safety measures allowing the site to remain fully operational throughout the project, which was completed recently, on time and within budget.

Karl Hudson, Regional General Manager for Norbert Dentressangle’s COMAH operations, said: “Chemical and pharmaceutical warehousing are both fields that require specialised facilities and expertise and are strictly controlled by the appropriate regulatory authorities. The addition of pharmaceutical and medical products to the range of products we handle is a natural extension of our activities at Euroterminal and something that we can offer to our existing and prospective customers, either in conjunction with other services or on a standalone basis.”

Norbert Dentressangle is one of Europe’s leading providers of chemicals and hazardous goods warehousing. The company also holds MHRA licenses for the storage of medical and pharmaceutical products at a number of other facilities in the UK.
