Global Gateways

Connecting Innovators Worldwide

Frontier offers fast, secure, and efficient temperature-controlled distribution through strategically located gateway facilities. Our global network supports life sciences companies in getting their products where they need to go — faster and with fewer risks.

Our Strategic Locations

Wilmington, NC

Gateway to North America

Our Wilmington, North Carolina, facility offers immense strategic value for life sciences supply chains with direct runway access at Wilmington International Airport (ILM), a designation within a Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ), proximity to major interstate highways and the Port of Wilmington, and only two hours from Research Triangle Park, one of North America’s leading life sciences hubs.

Cost Savings & Supply Chain Efficiency for Life Sciences

As a designated FTZ, our Wilmington facility offers significant cost-saving benefits for life sciences companies. These include duty deferrals, tax advantages, and streamlined customs processing, which help optimize cash flow and reduce overall transportation expense. Operating within a FTZ allows products to navigate international border requirements with greater ease, making your supply chain more efficient and competitive.

Faster, Safer Life Sciences Transport with a Lower Carbon Footprint

This gateway is also central to our direct, life sciences-exclusive air carrier service between Shannon, Ireland (SNN), and Wilmington, NC (ILM), facilitating faster transportation of life sciences products with fewer touchpoints. We can reduce transit times by over 200 hours and eliminate multiple touchpoints, dramatically reducing the risk of temperature excursions, product damage, and diversion. Expedited customs processing at both SNN and ILM ensures that products move swiftly. By delivering directly to the Mid-Atlantic United States, we also significantly reduce the carbon footprint associated with combined air and ground transportation, while enabling optimized distribution on the East Coast and in the Midwest.

Shannon, Ireland

Gateway to Europe

Shannon, Ireland is a key distribution hub for European life sciences markets, with the strategic location of Shannon International Airport (SNN) and major seaports like Cork. With direct air and sea routes, Shannon is an excellent location for temperature-controlled storage and rapid global transportation for life sciences products. With the additional benefit of Free Trade Zone designation, our facility streamlines customs processes and reduces time in storage while preserving the integrity of sensitive pharmaceutical products.

Our nonstop service between Shannon and Wilmington greatly reduces product exposure on the tarmac in both Ireland and the U.S., ensuring fewer touchpoints and faster deliveries to critical markets. Shannon’s central location makes it a crucial gateway for accessing the European Union and beyond.

Latin America & Asia

Coming Soon

Frontier’s planned expansion into Latin America and Asia will create a fully integrated global network, providing comprehensive temperature-controlled storage and distribution capabilities in two of the world’s fastest-growing life sciences markets. By establishing these new gateway locations, Frontier will support efficient local distribution while creating highly efficient direct links between North America, Europe, and key emerging regions.

This expansion will serve life sciences companies looking to manage complex global supply chains with faster transit times, fewer touchpoints, less risk of temperature excursions, and a more sustainable model. This directly increases the chances of zero losses so that together we can directly contribute to saving lives worldwide.
