In pharma and healthcare logistics, re-certification ensures consistency. It signifies that the previously established procedures remain effective. Storage conditions remain controlled. Documentation remains traceable. Handling procedures remain aligned with international standards. For companies operating in regulated healthcare environments, that continuity is required and critical. The scope of certification encompasses pharmaceutical warehousing and distribution activities, including controlled storage conditions, inventory oversight, documented handling procedures, and coordinated transportation management.
The milestone also reflects the steady development of Royal Cargo’s pharma and healthcare logistics capabilities in the Philippines. The Royal Cargo South Hub facility also holds FDA licenses as a Drug Manufacturer and as a Medical Devices Manufacturer, allowing the company to provide repacking, labeling, and compliant packaging services for regulated pharmaceutical and medical products. Together, facility-level licensing and GDP-certified distribution form a structured compliance framework that supports principals and healthcare institutions with regulated supply chain requirements.
As pharmaceutical supply chains across the Philippines and Southeast Asia continue to tighten regulatory requirements, companies increasingly look for logistics partners that combine infrastructure, certification, and operational consistency—sustaining GDP certification signals Royal Cargo’s continued investment in pharmaceutical warehousing and distribution, disciplined processes, quality management, and regulatory alignment to support the safe movement of critical healthcare products.
