CSafe Global Continues to Grow Service Center Network with Atlanta Location

Dayton, OH Mar 28, 2016 – In a continuing commitment to provide timely service, support and container availability to their growing global biopharmaceutical customers, CSafe Global announces the opening of a new service center serving ATL inbound and outbound traffic. This newest location is the second opening of what will be seven new service centers in 2016. Renowned for its quality, innovation and strong customer focus, the company offers a full range of active and passive packaging solutions for the safe transport of temperature-sensitive products.
“CSafe continues to grow with both existing and new customers and we are boosting the number of service centers and facilities around the world to ensure our customers continue to enjoy the best service possible,” says Brian Kohr, President and CEO. “The new facility in Atlanta will strengthen the customer service in this key market. In addition to servicing our existing customer base, the new service center will position us to take advantage of the business growth from the enhanced cargo facilities that are part of the huge capital improvement program now underway at Hartsfield–Jackson.”
The new service center will act as a principle hub for delivery, maintenance, calibration and technical support. The ATL service center will mean that delivery times will be reduced, delivery charges will be minimized, and there will be no ATL drop fees for final destination containers. Mark Mohr, Director of Customer Support and Partner Management at CSafe Global, comments: “This is another welcomed development for the company. Atlanta has a rapidly growing life-science sector, is the world’s busiest airport and is a premier pharma-logistics hub. Our new Atlanta service center will provide a strategic platform for our future growth and play an important role in supporting our expanding client base in this important pharma gateway.”

CSafe Global Expands EWR Service Center to Facilitate Triple Volume Business

Dayton, OH Mar 15, 2016 – CSafe Global, the leading manufacturer of temperature-controlled air-freight containers for the biopharmaceutical industry, announces the expansion of their Newark EWR Service Center.
Part of an exciting growth strategy, this latest investment will enable CSafe Global to meet the growing customer demand for the CSafe RKN while establishing the foundation for the expansion of CSafe’s passive product line in the Northeast. In 2015, service centers were established in San Francisco and Los Angeles. In 2016, the company will be adding seven centers in key global locations.
Rick Rackley, Director of Quality, Technical Support and Service Partners at CSafe, provides the rationale behind the expansion: “Our experienced teams of technicians are trained in-house to a very high standard with CSafe Global’s products and processes to facilitate the increasing volume of business, reduce turn time and ensure availability.”
Brian Kohr, President and CEO of CSafe Global expands on Rick’s comments by adding: “CSafe Global continues to uphold its declared vision of being the most trusted name in cold chain solutions. Although expanded to twice the previous size, the EWR service center is tooled up in processes and equipment to handle three times the current volume of active containers. In 2016, we will also add service points in Tokyo NRT, Atlanta ATL, Rome FCO, Vienna VIE and Brussels BRU, making it a banner year for our growing network. This highlights the dedication of the CSafe team to helping ensure continued successful shipments for our customers. We will continue to ensure the CSafe brand is associated with the highest levels of customer and technical support and maintenance.”
