The global transportation logistics provider World Courier intends to open three new transport stations in the U.S.

World Courier said December 19 the stations — located in Denver, Indianapolis and San Diego — will allow the company to expand its capacity to store, handle and transport pharmaceutical products, including those that require cryogenic storage.

The new stations will increase World Courier’s network of North American facilities to 17 sites.

“As more complex and sensitive pharmaceutical products enter clinical development, the demand for highly specialized logistics continues to increase,” said Matt Virgilio, the regional vice president of North America for World Courier. “By expanding our network and capabilities, we are well-positioned to support our partners’ evolving needs and deliver the solutions required to protect products throughout transport — whether it’s a commercially approved cell and gene therapy product or a vaccine in clinical development.”
