Built for the Real-World Logistics

Transporting temperature sensitive products has become increasingly complex.

Shipments move through multiple transport modes, handling points, border crossings and changing environmental conditions. Delays, transfers and fluctuating outside temperatures can place additional demands on maintaining the required transport conditions.

Because temperature protection remains with the shipment throughout the transport process, passive cold chain transport provides a reliable solution for complex supply chains where access to continuous external power may not always be available or practical.

The performance of the solution depends on understanding the required temperature profile, transit times, transport routes and handling conditions. These factors determine how the thermal containers must be conditioned and prepared before transport begins.

Our specialists manage these critical preparation steps before every shipment. Every transport is individually planned to ensure the thermal solution is configured according to the specific requirements of the shipment.

A thermal container is only as effective as the planning and preparation behind it. That is why every shipment is individually assessed, prepared and managed according to its specific transport requirements.

The Thermal Container Is Only One Part of the Solution

Maintaining transport conditions is about much more than placing a product into a thermal container.

Key Capabilities


No external power required

Maintains temperature protection even when external power is unavailable.

Validated Thermal Containers

Maintains stable transport conditions throughout the journey.

Temperature controlled down to -80 °C

Supports a wide range of temperature-controlled transport requirements, including ultra-low temperatures down to -80°C.

Up to 7 days of thermal protection

Provides greater flexibility for longer and more complex transport routes.

Designed for
multimodal
logistics operations

Supports seamless movement across road, air and multimodal transport operations without compromising temperature protection.

Passive vs. Active Cold Chain

Choosing the right cold chain solution depends on the product, required temperature range, transit time, route profile and supply chain requirements.

Active cold chain transport relies on powered equipment to maintain transport conditions. Passive cold chain transport uses prepared thermal containers that maintain the required transport conditions without continuous external power.

Both approaches have their place, but passive cold chain transport can provide greater flexibility where independence from external power and multimodal transport capability are important.

How the Service Works

Every shipment is different, which is why we begin by understanding your transport requirements before selecting the most suitable passive cold chain solution.


Assess
Transport Requirements

We review your product, required temperature range, route profile and planned transit time to determine the most appropriate passive cold chain solution.

Prepare
Thermal Containers

Our specialists prepare and precondition the thermal containers according to the shipment's specific temperature requirements, planned transit time and transport conditions. Temperature monitoring devices are installed before the shipment begins its journey.

Transport
and Monitoring

The shipment moves using the most suitable transport mode while remaining protected within the thermal container. Throughout the journey, our teams coordinate the transport and monitor the shipment to maintain product integrity.

Delivery
and Verification

Upon delivery, the shipment is handed over according to the agreed transport requirements. Temperature monitoring and transport data are available to verify that the required transport conditions have been maintained throughout the journey.
