ThermoSafe Brands announced the relocation and expansion of its Louisville, KY, facility. The new facility enables ThermoSafe to expand its product lineup from this location, including ThermoSafe Brands’ new Off-the-Shelf Certis Qualified Shippers, and Phase Change Materials (PCMs). This plant will also continue to produce polyurethane insulated shippers.
gh Package/Product Testing and Consulting Inc. reported in January that it was the first independent laboratory to be authorized by the International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) to test and certify temperature-controlled insulated shipping containers for overnight and two-day shipment.
Demand for pallet-sized shippers for temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals is on the rise, report suppliers to the industry. But their size doesn’t make them immune to the hazards of a complex supply chain, the challenges of securing global support, and the push to contain costs and reduce waste. Sophisticated solutions are now available, but drug shippers need to fully understand their supply chains and carefully examine all options.
