CEVA opens new facility in Entzheim
CEVA Logistics, the world’s third-largest contract logistics provider, has opened a new facility dedicated to the pharmaceutical industry in the Strasbourg-Entzheim Airport business park.
Designed to meet the healthcare sector’s most stringent requirements, this new site provides the highest standards of quality, regulatory compliance, traceability, security and cold chain management.
Located in the Bas-Rhin department, the new 17,000-square-meter logistics center is dedicated to managing complex, high-value pharmaceutical operations. Every day, it helps leading healthcare companies secure and optimize their supply chains. Its strategic location in the heart of the Strasbourg-Entzheim Airport business park offers direct access to airport infrastructure, freight operators, airlines, and customs and inspection services, ensuring fast, secure and reliable logistics operations.
The construction of the facility began in 2025 and was designed to meet the needs of pharmaceutical companies handling sensitive products, managing large volumes and facing stringent compliance requirements. With a floor area of 17,000 m² and a ceiling height of more than 17 meters, the facility features infrastructure suited to handling active temperature-controlled air cargo containers, as well as advanced inventory management and traceability systems.
Built to the latest technological standards, the facility can accommodate ultra-low temperature products down to -80°C. It incorporates three primary temperature-controlled zones: +15°C to +25°, +2°C to +8°C, and -25°C.This setup caters precisely to the requirements of diverse pharmaceutical and healthcare products while ensuring continuous compliance with regulatory standards and Good Distribution Practices (GDP).
The facility is also fully equipped to prepare shipments securely, featuring an onsite dry ice production system and specialized packaging solutions for palletized freight.
In line with CEVA’s commitment to sustainability and improving site environmental performance, the new facility targets BREEAM “Very Good” and “BiodiverCity” certifications. It features rooftop solar panels, with all generated renewable energy consumed directly on-site to reduce its carbon footprint.
Beyond environmental performance, the site meets the highest international quality, security, and safety benchmarks—including TAPA FSR B certification and applicable healthcare standards—giving customers complete control over their logistics operations and supply chain risks.
With an existing 10,000 m² logistics site already running at the Strasbourg-Entzheim business park, CEVA opened this second facility to scale its operations within a leading pharmaceutical hub. The Grand Est region ranks among Europe’s top healthcare hubs, home to major multinational companies operating along the Rhine Valley. With this new Entzheim facility, CEVA reinforces its regional footprint, now operating four logistics sites in Grand Est—two in Entzheim, one in Sausheim (Haut-Rhin) and one in Vatry (Marne)—representing a combined 90,000 m² of warehouse space.
Pharmaceutical and healthcare logistics require specialized expertise and strict adherence to safety, compliance, and quality standards. CEVA Logistics brings extensive experience to the sector, meeting rigorous regulatory demands through targeted certifications, quality systems, precise temperature management and continuous team training.
Today, CEVA supports more than 500 pharmaceutical and healthcare customers worldwide and operates approximately 50 specialized logistics facilities, underscoring its role as a strategic industry partner.
Amaury Montay, Contract Logistics Director France, CEVA Logistics, says: “The opening of this new logistics facility marks an important milestone in the development of our Healthcare business in France. Designed to meet the needs of pharmaceutical companies, it enables us to manage sensitive, temperature-controlled operations with the level of quality, traceability and security expected by our customers. With this logistics facility now fully operational, CEVA is strengthening its ability to support their growth and secure their supply chains.”
