Temperature-Controlled Pharmaceutical Transport
Our vehicles are equipped with dual-compartment cargo spaces, enabling the simultaneous transport of products requiring different temperature regimes. Each compartment operates independently, allowing precise adjustment of transport conditions to the specific requirements of the cargo.
This approach enhances operational efficiency, eliminates the need for separate shipments, and ensures uninterrupted cold chain integrity without compromising quality standards.
Transport Security & Full Control
Transport security and complete cargo visibility are our standard. Our fleet is equipped with advanced security systems, alarm solutions, and 24/7 GPS and temperature monitoring, ensuring continuous oversight at every stage of the operation.
These systems safeguard the cargo and enable immediate response to any deviations, guaranteeing consistency, stability, and reliability throughout the entire transport process.
Express Pharmaceutical Transport
For time-critical shipments where every hour matters, we offer expedited pharmaceutical transport with priority handling and full real-time monitoring of both temperature and location.
We operate with speed and flexibility, maintaining continuous communication with our clients. This enables immediate response and ensures that each shipment arrives precisely when it is required.
We Understand the Pharmaceutical Industry
Pharmaceutical logistics requires strict adherence to operational procedures and complete control over documentation.
Our processes are designed to ensure product safety and full audit readiness. We base our operations on three key pillars:
We provide full process transparency and complete traceability for every shipment, including:
- comprehensive transport documentation,
- temperature reports for each shipment,
- regular calibration of measurement devices,
- summer and winter lane mapping,
- data archiving and full transport history.
This ensures our clients have access to reliable, verifiable data confirming compliance with pharmaceutical industry standards.
The safety of pharmaceutical products is our top operational priority. We ensure it through:
- 24/7 GPS and temperature monitoring,
- advanced onboard alarm systems,
- fully implemented security protocols.
Continuous parameter monitoring allows us to respond immediately to any deviations, maintaining the highest transport quality standards.
The quality of our pharmaceutical transport services is driven by experienced and specialized professionals. We ensure this through:
- regular training for drivers and logistics personnel,
- periodic certification renewals,
- extensive experience in handling sensitive products,
- dedicated, industry-focused operational teams.
This guarantees efficient communication and proactive risk management throughout the transport process.
Certifications & Quality Standards
We operate in accordance with recognized quality and environmental standards. Our processes are validated by certifications that guarantee operational compliance and transport safety.
The high quality of our services is confirmedby numerous
successful projects delivered for both domestic and international clients.
International Temperature-Controlled Pharmaceutical Transport
We provide international pharmaceutical transport services across Europe, ensuring consistent standards of quality, safety, and monitoring regardless of the country of operation.
Our activities are supported by operational structures in Poland and Germany, enabling efficient management of international shipments and significantly reducing response times.
Our Transport Operations
Plasma Transport Under Controlled Conditions
–20°C, 24 hours, zero margin for error
The transport of plasma from Northern Ireland to Germany required absolute precision – both in maintaining a constant temperature of
–20°C and in synchronizing every stage of the route. Critical to success was the precise coordination of pickup with the ferry crossing, as well as the optimal utilization of driver working hours. Thanks to the team’s expertise, continuous communication, and advance booking of the crossing with a secure time buffer, the shipment was delivered in under 24 hours. A GDP/FRC-certified vehicle and full operational control ensured maximum safety in a scenario where no compromises are acceptable.
ADR 6.2 Transport with Zero Margin for Error
A priority requiring immediate response
An international transport of biological material (ADR Class 6.2, UN3373) on the Czech Republic–Switzerland route escalated instantly from urgent to critical. During clearance, the dispatcher received information from the hospital: the patient’s condition had rapidly deteriorated, and the transported shipment was required for immediate surgery. Every minute counted. Thanks to rapid response and direct coordination with customs authorities, procedures were expedited and stopover time reduced to an absolute minimum. The result? Delivery was completed 40 minutes ahead of schedule, and the shipment was transferred directly to the operating theatre—exactly when it was needed most.
Why Do Clients Choose MCG Logistics?
In pharmaceutical logistics, the key factors are process reliability, product safety, and a partner who truly understands the industry’s specific requirements.
Our solutions are designed precisely with these expectations in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
We handle the transportation of finished medicinal products (Rx and OTC), active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), clinical trial samples, and temperature-sensitive products requiring controlled conditions, including ADR shipments.
Temperature is monitored in real time using sensors placed within the cargo space. Readings are recorded every minute, allowing continuous verification of compliance with the required temperature range. After completion of transport, the client receives a temperature report -either as a thermograph printout or a PDF file, depending on preference.
The system triggers automatic alerts via SMS, email, and push notifications when temperature approaches critical thresholds. This enables both the driver and dispatcher to react immediately and, if necessary, adjust settings to restore and maintain proper transport conditions.
Yes. We provide full data archiving and complete access to transport history as well as temperature reports.
We apply security measures compliant with the TAPA TSR 1 standard, including digitally controlled locks with remote management and dynamic access code changes. Vehicles are also equipped with anti-tamper systems and anti-robbery alarms that trigger emergency security procedures, including notification of relevant authorities.
Yes. Drivers undergo training upon employment and regular refresher courses at least every six months. Training covers GDP and TAPA TSR 1 standards as well as practical operational scenarios, ensuring safe and compliant pharmaceutical transport.
Yes. Under long-term cooperation, we can implement enhanced security measures such as double driver crews or convoy escort services for high-value shipments. The scope of security is tailored individually to each project and its risk profile.
