Italy is a key global manufacturer of pharmaceuticals, accounting for 12% of the world's pharmaceutical production and 22% of Europe's. Pharmaceutical manufacturing is a growth industry domestically as well, having achieved 168% growth over the past ten years.

NE Italy has constructed new temperature-controlled facilities equipped with cooling units to maintain 2 - 8 C (20 m2) and 15 - 25 C (470 m2) temperature ranges within its company-owned warehouse in Lainate, located about 30 km southeast of Milan Malpensa Airport. This will allow NE Italy to meet the logistics needs of customers in the pharmaceutical industry by combining temporary storage services using these facilities with Nippon Express's temperature-controlled international transport services.

Nippon Express will be further enhancing its services to meet increasingly sophisticated and diverse pharmaceutical logistics needs and bolstering its efforts on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry, positioned as a priority industry in its current business plan.
