Problem solver

va-Q-tec showcased the va-Q-tainer TWINx at the recent LogiPharma exhibition. The product was first introduced into the market last year as part of the container rental service Load & Go where the containers are preconditioned to a desired temperature and transported to a predetermined point of delivery. va-Q-tec’s fleet of rental containers operates within a global partner network consisting of airlines, freight forwarders and service providers. Over 1 million shipments have been carried out without temperature deviations using va-Q-tainers and boxes.

"In the pharmaceutical industry we are known as the best problem solver in the field of cold chain logistics," explains Dr. Joachim Kuhn, CEO of va-Q-tec AG. "Our high-performance containers allow us to safely meet the increasing requirements of temperature control over an extended period of time, without the need of external energy supply."

va-Q-tec has been supplying thermal packaging to pharmaceutical, biotech and logistics companies worldwide for over 10 years. The containers use the optimal combination of in-house developed vacuum insulation panels and phase changing materials. va-Q-tec’s highest priority is to safeguard their customers’ products while minimising costs in the supply chain.

The new va-Q-tainer TWINx is a high performance passive container, perfect for temperature-controlled transportation worldwide. The va-Q-tainer TWINx is designed for transporting two US pallets, two EURO pallets or bulk loading. The container is suitable for the deviation-free transport of temperature sensitive pharmaceutical and biotechnological goods on the most arduous trade-lanes. The va-Q-tainer TWINx is designed for more than 120 hours performance in summer (constant +30°C) and winter (constant 0°C) ambient for +2°C to +8°C shipments. Additional temperature ranges from -70°C to +25°C provide customers with the solutions they need. All va-Q-tainer TWINx performance details are based on a worst-case configuration with no load in the container.
