Guaranteeing the cold chain, even without refrigerated transport or cold storage, is a challenge for many professionals. At MEDICOLD, we design intelligent solutions to keep your heat-sensitive products at a stable temperature, without the need for refrigerated transport.
Why avoid refrigerated transport?
Opting for a passive cold maintenance solution allows you to :
Reduce logistics costs:
No need for refrigerated vehicles, less fuel consumed.
Limiting your carbon footprint:
Reduced CO₂ emissions linked to active transportation.
Gaining in flexibility:
Our solutions are compatible with all types of transport (courier, express, urban delivery, etc.).
Facilitating compliance :
No opening of truck doors = better thermal stability.
