Spain has a substantial pharmaceutical industry. Companies like Grifols, Almirall, Ferrer, and Esteve operate major production sites across Catalonia, while multinational plants add significant export volume.
What Ships as Ambient Pharma
- Finished tablets and capsules in blister packs
- Medical devices (non-temperature-sensitive)
- Diagnostic kits with room-temperature reagents
- Pharmaceutical packaging
- OTC products and supplements
Temperature Regimes
- Ambient — No control. Standard trailer. SAVA: LTL + dedicated.
- Temperature-noted (15-25C) — needs a controlled or monitored regime. SAVA: not offered; we refer to specialists.
- Cold-chain (2-8C) — needs a GDP-licensed carrier with active cooling. SAVA: not offered; we refer to specialists.
SAVA LOGISTIC runs ambient road freight only: we do not operate reefer or temperature-controlled equipment.
GDP-Aware vs GDP-Licensed
GDP-licensed is for pharmaceutical distributors who take ownership. GDP-aware is what carriers provide: clean, dry trailers; documented chain of custody; segregated loads. This is what SAVA LOGISTIC offers.
