Products

Single-use parcel thermal shippers

One-way parcel shippers that combine phase change coolants, EPS and VIPs to maintain defined temperature ranges for short-duration shipments.

Reusable parcel shipping systems

Reusable parcel containers using conditioned TICs/PCM and VIPs designed for multiple reuse cycles following refurbishment and conditioning.

Single-use bulk palletized thermal shippers

Flat-packable single-use bulk solutions that use water-based PCM, BRIC foam coolants, EPS and VIP elements for pallet or pallet-sized shipments.

Reusable bulk containers with real-time monitoring

Large-format reusable bulk containers engineered for extended-duration shipments with modular coolant options and integrated IoT telemetry for temperature and location visibility.

Thermal covers and pallet barrier systems

Thermal barrier covers for palletized products that reflect radiant heat and reduce convective/conductive transfer as a secondary protection layer.


Services

On-site or service-center conditioning of phase change materials and coolant modules to target temperatures prior to shipment.

Cleaning, inspection, component replacement (TICs/VIPs), and refurbishment to manufacturer standards using global SOPs to return reusable containers to service.

Short-term rental of passive cold chain containers (daily or monthly terms) via a global network of service centers to support variable shipment demand.

Longer-term leasing with dedicated inventory, minimum trip commitments, fixed trip rates and included maintenance and repair services.

ISO/IEC 17025-accredited thermal testing, ISTA7D qualification, environmental chamber testing (-80°C to +70°C), and shock/vibration transit simulations with detailed qualification reports.

Collaborative programs with suppliers and partners to recover and recycle VIP support core material (fumed silica) and develop circular reuse pathways.
