A ground breaking ceremony has taken place for Kuehne + Nagel’s “Pharma Hub Switzerland” in Möhlin.

The Pharma Hub will be part of the KN PharmaChain network providing multimodal temperature-controlled door-to-door shipping on a global scale, enhanced visibility and traceability of deliveries and proactive risk management.

Three different temperature zones will be available for highly sensitive products: -20 degrees, -2 to +8 and +15 to 25 degrees, with dedicated areas for hazardous goods and narcotics.

Kuehne + Nagel International chief executive officer, Dr Detlef Trefzger says: “Switzerland is an important pharma location with global reach. The cutting-edge facility in Möhlin is a strategic investment in this growth sector and supports us to serve our customers even better, especially through integration with the global Kuehne + Nagel pharma network.”
