Now, a facility specialized in the export packing of pharmaceutical products (called “KIX-Medipac”) has been developed in the international cargo area of the airport. This is the first time that a facility capable of providing export packing and storage of pharmaceutical products in one building has been developed in a Japanese airport. Kansai International Airport has been engaged in the creation of a cool chain connecting the whole of the airport including the “constant temperature warehouse for pharmaceuticals (KIX-Medica)” and the “operation of storage dolly” among others. With the completion of the development of KIX-Medipac, it has now become possible to provide a safe and secure transportation of pharmaceutical products to the destination by providing the export packaging. We will continue to provide high convenience and quality to all those who handle pharmaceutical products in the Kansai area and in the western part of Japan. Name of Facility: KIX-Medipac Overview of Facility: Constant temperature warehouse with an area of about 150m2 which is kept in the two temperature zones of 20˚C (about 50 to 100m2) and 5˚C (about 50 to 100m2), which is installed in the Building A with an area of about 1,450m2 (including the area under the eaves) in the International Cargo Area Characteristics of Facility: Installed a variety of packing facilities and an constant temperature warehouse with an area of about 150m 2 in one building. Simulation of external environment such as an outside temperature at the time of export in order to individually pack pharmaceuticals of small to medium lots to be exported from Japan requiring temperature control and the use of specially prepared packing materials, refrigerants, heat storage agents and the like within the constant temperature warehouse allow risks such as temperature deviation, etc. to be eliminated and the products to be transported safely to the destination.
