MNX has opened a temperature controlled distribution centre in Melbourne, Australia to serve the Pacific Rim region’s pharma industry.

Australia and the Pacific Rim region have been identified by MNX as a growth region for temperature controlled logistics, storage and transportation services. Last year World Courier also opened a site in Melbourne in response to growth in the clinical trial sector.
