“Both solutions express our ambition to deliver the most innovative, efficient and the most beneficial offer to our clients.
He added: “We are eager to develop in directions set by Polish pharmaceutical market. Embarking on certification proves that we respond to market needs and our clients’ demand.
“We are catching up on previous years when LOT Cargo development was not drive in such specialised areas.”
After achieving CEIV Pharma certification, LOT Cargo intends to transport goods such as insulin, Poland is a major producer, vaccines and antibiotics. LOT Cargo is also planning to start transporting pharma products for veterinary use.
