Life Science
TFI combines GDP certification with deep expertise in life science logistics, making us one of the region’s most trusted and dependable logistics providers.
Specialised Support for Biotechnology and R&D Logistics
We specialise in the transportation and distribution of products and biological samples for the biotechnology and R&D industries. These commodities are highly time- and temperature-sensitive, requiring a tightly controlled and regulated supply chain to maintain product integrity and prevent excursions.
Risk-Based Expertise and Temperature Control
Our in-house team of GDP-trained experts understands the finer complexities of life science logistics and adopts a risk-based approach to identify, assess, and mitigate potential supply chain challenges before they arise. We also utilise both active and passive packaging solutions depending on product requirements to maintain strict temperature control throughout transit.
Compliance Across Every Stage
At every stage of the process, we follow stringent local health authority procedures to support safe, compliant movement of sensitive cargo. This includes:
- Documentation
- Import/Export permits
- Packing supervision
- Customs clearance
- Freight forwarding
