Schenker certified as qualified Envirotainer provider

GERMANY's DB Schenker has won accreditation as a Qualified Envirotainer Provider (QEP) at several stations in Europe and Asia by Envirotainer AB, a provider of active temperature-controlled air cargo containers based in Sweden.

The accreditation, which verifies that DB Schenker can manage temperature sensitive shipments that are shipped in Envirotainer containers in accordance with the 'Good Distribution Practice,' has achieved accreditation for its European stations in Brussels, Basel, Frankfurt, Geneva, Mannheim, Stuttgart, Vienna and Zurich as well as in Singapore, a joint company statement said.

"DB Schenker plans on expanding its QEP accreditation to support our customers' requirements for the temperature-controlled supply chain globally," said Bob Gahan, vice president of global sales and health care at DB Schenker.

Christine Andersson, one of Envirotainer's QEP programme managers, said: "DB Schenker has been able to successfully comply with the strict requirements of QEP accreditation because of its excellent quality management system and internal training programme. Having these structured processes already in place has enabled the company to quickly satisfy the quality standards needed."
