Dayton, OH Sept 14, 2016 – CSafe Global, having recently acquired Kalibox, will be introducing the Kalibox passive pallet shipper to the US market at the 14th IQPC Temperature Management Logistics Conference in Boston, MA.
The passive Kalibox branded pallet shipper features an innovative time and cost saving design which includes a patented quick assembly system and easy opening and loading. The front-loading shipper offers up to five days of thermal protection and is available in a range of sizes from 200 liters to 1500 liters.
Adding Kalibox to its product fold is just the latest in a whole series of exciting developments at CSafe Global. “Over the past year we have established new business operations in Korea, Japan, France and Puerto Rico, opened nine new service centers, introduced our “CATS” container tracking system, launched several new products and passed the landmark production total of 1000 RKNs”, reports Brian Kohr, CEO at CSafe. “These impressive achievements are the result of CSafe’s continual investment in staff, facilities and technology and look forward to maintaining our strong growth trajectory.”
Nadine Siqueland, Vice President of Global Sales at CSafe, underlines the importance of giving customers the widest choice: “Biopharmaceuticals are steadily becoming more complex and environmentally sensitive as technology evolves and at the same time, shippers are facing growing regulatory pressures. Couple these factors to the industry’s relentless globalization and you start to see why today’s pharma shipper needs access to a wider range of cold chain solutions than ever before. At CSafe we have an unwavering commitment to providing the best, most comprehensive and most efficient cold chain protection for all our customers’ needs.”
