Metropolitan Logistics offers industry-leading pharmaceutical logistics services in Canada, tailored to the highly sensitive and regulated requirements of medical freight. From cold chain transportation to regulatory-compliant handling and secure distribution of medical devices, we ensure product integrity and safety at every stage.
We provide a comprehensive suite of services to meet the specific logistics needs of the medical and pharmaceutical industry in Canada:
Pharmaceutical products are highly temperature-sensitive and require strict cold chain integrity. We operate a national fleet of refrigerated trucks, reefer containers, and temperature-monitored vehicles to maintain critical conditions between +2°C to +8°C, -20°C, and ultra-low levels when needed.
Sensitive medical devices and diagnostic equipment demand specialized handling and packaging. From calibration-safe loading to custom crating and white-glove delivery, our team ensures your equipment is protected during every stage of transit.
We provide integrated cold chain logistics for vaccines, biologics, lab reagents, and specialty drugs. Our cold chain network spans temperature-controlled warehousing, packaging, and point-to-point transport with real-time tracking and compliance validation.
We move controlled substances, high-risk goods, and critical R&D samples under strict security protocols. Our secure freight solutions include chain-of-custody documentation, restricted-access vehicles, and NDA-covered handling.
Whether shipping from manufacturer to distributor or hospital to clinic, we coordinate efficient, compliant pharma distribution networks across Ontario, Quebec, and the rest of Canada. Scheduled routing, EDI integration, and inventory synchronization ensure smooth operation.
Urgent and recurring deliveries to hospitals, pharmacies, and labs are handled with same-day and next-day service options. We offer rapid routing, secure last-mile delivery, and strict delivery time adherence.

Temperature breaches are not an option in pharmaceutical logistics. That’s why we’ve built a national network of reefer-enabled transportation, temperature-controlled warehousing, and certified packaging options that ensure stable conditions across the journey.
Cold chain is not just about equipment—it’s about consistency. Our systems include pre-loading validation, sensor-based alerts, route optimization, and staff trained to respond to deviations in real-time.
We provide strategic coverage across Canada with operational hubs in:
From these centers, we serve healthcare facilities, research institutions, and pharma clients nationwide.
