Rhenus Türkiye recertified for CEIV Pharma, reinforcing its role in safe pharmaceutical logistics

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. 

Pharma logistics with real-world impact 

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

Why this matters for Türkiye and beyond 

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. 

Built on continuous improvement 

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 Mert Gedikçi. “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.”
