When we traveled to Dehli, India in January, it was a pleasant 67 degrees; by summer, the temperature will likely climb above 110.

We knew COLD BOX could help. We jumped at the chance to present our custom critical shipping solution at a conference sponsored by Pharma Connect, one of India’s leading pharmaceutical trade publications.

The reception from India’s key pharmaceutical and transportation industry decision-makers was “a bit overwhelming,” according to our CEO, Foster McDonald. “The Indian pharmaceutical market is quite advanced, but the domestic logistics capabilities are far behind. COLD BOX will be responsible for solving an important problem that inhibits cold chain movement throughout the country.”
We’re thrilled to be bringing COLD BOX to India in 2018!
