QuickSTAT, part of the Kuehne+Nagel Group, has been announced as Gold Sponsor of the Pharma Industry Awards 2026, with winners set to be announced on 26th November at the Johnstown Estate Hotel. The sponsorship brings together a programme dedicated to recognising pharmaceutical excellence and a company whose work sits at the heart of how new medicines move from research to patients.

QuickSTAT is a specialist in global clinical trial logistics, managing the movement of time and temperature-sensitive materials across all phases of drug development, from pre-clinical through to clinical trials and on to commercialisation. Its expertise spans clinical research samples, biologics, investigational drugs, clinical trial supplies, vaccines, cell and gene therapies (CGT), and personalised medicine, as well as the complex regulatory requirements around dangerous goods shipping. In a field where delays or temperature excursions can compromise both the integrity of research and the timelines of drug development programmes, the reliability and precision of QuickSTAT's logistics capability is not a supporting function but a critical enabler of pharmaceutical innovation.

What distinguishes QuickSTAT within the clinical trial logistics space is the breadth of its specialisation across temperature ranges, product types, and phases of research. Managing logistics for early-phase pre-clinical work demands a different set of capabilities than handling commercialisation-scale shipments of advanced therapy medicinal products, and QuickSTAT has built the expertise to operate with confidence across the entire continuum. That capability, backed by the global network and operational infrastructure of the Kuehne+Nagel Group, gives pharmaceutical and life sciences clients a partner with both the specialist knowledge and the global reach their programmes require.

As the pharmaceutical industry continues to advance into increasingly complex therapeutic areas, particularly in cell and gene therapy and personalised medicine, the demands placed on clinical trial logistics providers will only intensify. QuickSTAT's sustained investment in specialist capability and temperature-controlled solutions positions it as a partner built for precisely that future.

As Gold Sponsor of the Pharma Industry Awards 2026, QuickSTAT brings both the authority of deep clinical research expertise and a clear commitment to the pharmaceutical innovation and drug development excellence that the programme celebrates.
