Sinopharm Holding (Tianjin) 3,500㎡ Cold Chain Pharmaceutical Warehouse
Project Overview
Jinzhao Yuan Refrigeration was appointed as the refrigeration system integrator for Sinopharm Holding (Tianjin)’s 3,500㎡ pharmaceutical cold chain warehouse — one of the largest pharmaceutical cold storage projects we have undertaken, requiring full compliance with China’s GDP (Good Distribution Practice) standards for pharmaceutical logistics.
Project Background
Sinopharm Holding is one of China’s largest pharmaceutical distribution conglomerates. Their Tianjin facility required a purpose-built cold chain warehouse to store temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products including vaccines, biologic agents, and specialty medications. The project demanded the highest level of temperature precision, GMP/GDP compliance, data traceability, and system redundancy.
