WORLD COURIER OPENS INVESTIGATIONAL DRUG DEPOTS IN MOSCOW, BANGALORE

STAMFORD, Connecticut, June 30, 2006—World Courier is pleased to announce the opening in recent weeks of two new investigational drug storage facilities – one in Moscow (Russia) and the other in Bangalore (India) – increasing its number of ISO-certified, GMP-compliant pharma depots to seven worldwide.

Staffed by full-time licensed pharmacists, each new facility provides comprehensive logistical solutions in a variety of temperature-controlled environments to companies participating in global clinical trials. Services include validated storage areas for investigational drugs, diagnostic kits and medical devices; round-the-clock access to inventories; on-demand in-country delivery; and drug return/destruction management.

“By using our centralized depots, clients can significantly reduce customs delays, improve the regulatory permit process and better meet their strict re-supply timelines,” says Wayne Heyland, President and CEO of World Courier Group. “This is particularly important in emerging markets where interest in conducting clinical trials is growing incrementally to advancements in the local infrastructure.”

At World Courier depots, all documents and materials received, stored or distributed are completely traceable in compliance with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) using the company's proprietary software management system CTM-STAR^SM. Customers can also view their inventories on a 24x7x365 basis via live password-protected Internet feed. Other World Courier investigational drug storage facilities are located in Buenos Aires (Argentina), Sao Paulo (Brazil), Santiago (Chile), Mexico City (Mexico) and Lima (Peru).
