In the race for large orders for the corona vaccine transport, the logistics company Kuehne and Nagel can book a success. The company announced on Thursday that a contract had been concluded for the worldwide transport and storage of Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine. The company’s German headquarters are in Bremen.

It’s all over the world with the exception of the United States. There a competitor was awarded the contract. The vaccine must be continuously cooled to minus 20 degrees, that is guaranteed, emphasized Kühne and Nagel.

The contract covers the route from the production facility to a continental distribution center. In Europe, at Moderna industry circles, this is Belgium. The route from this center to the national distribution center, in this case the truck trip from Belgium to Germany, is also included in the contract; other logistics agreements apply accordingly.

According to their own information, Kühne und Nagel has 230 pharmaceutical locations around the world, in Germany, for example, in Leipzig, Frankfurt am Main and Mainz.
