Envirotainer has commissioned its sixth Indian facility at Navi Mumbai International Airport ahead of the facility's cargo operations launch later this year. The station doubles capacity at the company's existing Mumbai operations and will serve pharmaceutical manufacturers requiring controlled-environment shipping solutions for medicines and vaccines. The new facility introduces local preconditioning capabilities for parcel and ProofTainer solutions, reducing preparation times and strengthening cold chain integrity from origin. A dedicated repair and service center is scheduled to open within months, providing full-cycle support to regional customers. India produces approximately 20% of global generic medicines and supplies 55-60% of UNICEF's vaccine requirements. The station's strategic location supports the western India pharmaceutical corridor, one of the world's most significant manufacturing and export hubs.
