Currently, more than half of the Covid-19 diagnostic kits worldwide are shipped internationally using va-Q-tec’s thermal boxes and container
va-Q-tec, the German pioneer of highly efficient products and solutions in the field of thermal insulation and TempChain logistics, is boosting its activities in Asia to support global efforts against the pandemic.
The leading producers of Covid-19 diagnostic kits, va-Q-tec’s temperature-controlled pharmaceutical shipping solutions are currently supporting more than half of the international distribution of diagnostic kits.
Temperature-controlled pharmaceutical logistics are faced with an increasingly set of challenges amidst the pandemic outbreak. For instance, handling by air freight often takes longer and is difficult to calculate due to reduced airfreight capacities which are the result of limited or even shut-down operations of airlines.
va-Q-tec’s high-performance thermal boxes and containers meet these requirements reliably as ideal transport solutions for pharmaceutical products. Thanks to their special properties, they protect the valuable contents for a period of five to ten days without the use of an external energy supply or dry ice, a hazardous material.
“At va-Q-tec, we feel especially connected to Asian companies because a part of the founder’s family is from Korea. We are doing everything we can to stand alongside and support our partners,” commented Dr. Joachim Kuhn, CEO.
For optimal support of international pharmaceutical long-distance transports as well as last-mile logistics, va-Q-tec is enhancing the availability of its high-tech transport boxes and containers worldwide, particularly in Asia.
The company also developed a specially designed pallet-sized transport solution for pharmaceutical logistics from Asia to the world within a very short time frame.
