Ready for COVID-19 distribution with the BRUcure Readiness Label in hand

21 Apr, 2021

We are proud to have been awarded the BRUcure Readiness Label, an indication that we are ready to transport, handle, or store the COVID-19 vaccine.

Eligible for COVID-19 vaccine distribution

The BRUcure Readiness Label is provided by Air Cargo Belgium and Brussels Airport on behalf of the Belgian Airfreight Community. We recently obtained the readiness label based on our vast experience handling vaccine shipments, adhering to the specific supply chain requirements, and displaying dedicated cold pharma storage facilities and management.

Birgit Andries, Airfreight Manager at Scan Global Logistics Belgium, expands on what has contributed to becoming part of the selected logistics partners eligible for COVID-19 vaccine distribution:

Due to our active participation in the airfreight community’s roll-out of the coronavirus vaccine combined with our decade-long experience in shipping vaccines, certified handling facilities, and solid operating procedures, we have proved ourselves a trustworthy and reliable receiver of the BRUcure Readiness Label.

Assisting a seamless logistics pharmaceutical gateway

BRUcure is a taskforce project that aims to offer a robust and seamless logistics pharmaceutical gateway at Brussels Airport for airfreight import and export of COVID-19 vaccines.

Ive Van Nuffelen, Managing Director, Scan Global Logistics BeNe, shares about the importance of the BRUcure Readiness Label:

The BRUcure label is one of many rewarding results from our hard work in the last 15 months. The entire local team, in conjunction with the great support from our global teams, have in this short period managed to become a substantial airfreight player at Brussels Airport.

Since the launch of Scan Global Logistics in Belgium, we have been investing heavily in providing our pharma customers with consistently high service levels. Not only have the customers noticed that we have been continuously stepping up the game and uncomplicating their world, but also the local business communities have clearly taken note of us. Specifically for the healthcare industry, we have been investing heavily in GDP-certified cold chain storage and transit facilities to guarantee the highest standards, now and in the future!’

We are indeed ready to help make your world a little safer and less complicated.
