trans-o-flex ThermoMed Austria has environmental management certified for the first time

As part of the harmonisation of its quality management system, trans-o-flex Expressdienst has had its Austrian subsidiary trans-o-flex ThermoMed Austria certified to the ISO 14001 environmental management standard for the first time. The certifier was changed at the same time for the re-certification to the ISO 9001 quality management standard. "We are now standardising the basic quality and environmental management systems 9001 and 14001 for all our subsidiaries via the certification company bsi," says Eugen Günther, Managing Director Sales at trans-o-flex Express and Spokesman of the Management Board at trans-o-flex ThermoMed Austria. "However, we have other quality processes, such as those for the EU GDP, which are fundamental in the pharmaceutical sector, standardised by TÜV Süd."

By standardising its quality management, trans-o-flex is implementing another element of its medium-term plan. "The fact that we now have a single partner for each standard across all of our companies makes the process much simpler," adds Günther. "In addition, the certification of all companies without exception allows us to demonstrate our standardised quality approach across national and regional borders to the outside world." Certification to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, as well as the EU-GDP guidelines for good distribution practice for medicinal products for human use, now applies to trans-o-flex Express, trans-o-flex ThermoMed in Germany and Austria, which specialises in actively temperature-controlled pharmaceutical transport, and the warehousing and contract logistics subsidiary trans-o-flex Logistik-Service.

In addition to these quality management certificates, trans-o-flex companies also hold the AEO (Authorised Economic Operator), Ecovadis (sustainability rating) and TAPA certificates. Günther: "The continuous certification of further locations in accordance with the TAPA safety standard FSR 2023 C is right at the top of our next QM projects."

Über trans-o-flex Express GmbH & Co. KGaA

trans-o-flex’s core areas of expertise are logistics solutions for the healthcare, cosmetics and consumer electronics industries and other sensitive goods. The company has built up transport networks to carry goods throughout Germany and Austria at 15 to 25 degrees Celsius or 2 to 8 degrees Celsius actively temperature-controlled and documented in accordance with EU regulations for healthcare transport. These EU-GDPs require the highest standards for safety and security, cleanliness, reliability and transparency, from which all trans-o-flex customers benefit. trans-o-flex operates internationally via the networks EUROTEMP (temperature-controlled logistics) and EURODIS (in 38 European countries). In contrast to parcel and groupage services, trans-o-flex delivers parcels and pallets on a consolidated basis. trans-o-flex Express offers numerous express and time-slot deliveries, special services such as hazardous goods transportation (without minimum quantity regulation), consignment consolidation and direct deliveries. The range of services is complemented by warehousing, order picking and individual value-added services such as serialisation and deserialisation of pharmaceuticals. This means that the company covers the entire logistics chain from procurement through to fulfilment. In addition, trans-o-flex is part of GEODIS and can therefore utilise the French group’s global logistics services. The annual turnover of the trans-o-flex companies, which employ a total of around 2,000 people, amounted to around 617 million euros in 2022. More information is available at www.trans-o-flex.com
