Rhenus Turkiye recertified for CEIV Pharma

Rhenus Türkiye has successfully renewed its CEIV Pharma certification from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), confirming its commitment to meeting the highest global standards in pharmaceutical logistics.

The recertification highlights the company’s dedication to handling temperature-sensitive healthcare products with care, precision and full regulatory compliance.

Since entering the pharmaceutical logistics sector in 2021, Rhenus Türkiye has built its service around a simple but powerful principle: behind every shipment, there’s a patient. This mindset has shaped everything from team training and infrastructure to risk management processes. With the renewed certification, Rhenus Türkiye continues to be one of only a few logistics providers in Türkiye to hold this demanding international qualification.

“This certification is more than a requirement – it’s a reflection of our promise to customers and the people they serve,” says Korcan Tugrul, Managing Director of Rhenus Türkiye. “We see every shipment not just as a product, but as something that directly impacts health and lives.”

In the Turkish market, CEIV Pharma certification remains a rare achievement. The standard, developed by IATA, is recognized worldwide as a mark of operational excellence in pharmaceutical logistics. For Rhenus Türkiye, it opens doors to major international tenders and sends a strong signal to global pharmaceutical manufacturers: their products are in safe hands.

As part of the recertification, Rhenus Türkiye used the opportunity to sharpen key internal processes. The team enhanced how it monitors and evaluates performance indicators (KPIs), implemented stronger risk-based approaches across daily operations, and expanded training through IATA’s Pharma program to boost team know-how.

“As Rhenus Türkiye, we don’t see this certification as just another requirement. For us, it’s a clear signal that we’re doing the right things for the right reasons,” says Korcan Tugrul. “We’re proud to provide pharmaceutical logistics that go beyond compliance—built on trust, consistency and care for the people behind every shipment. For us It’s not just a product. It’s a patient.”
