Managing Your Cold Chain

Many of today's important discoveries - life-saving drugs, vaccines, biotechnology-derived therapies - can be destroyed during transit by exposure to temperatures that are too hot or too cold. After investing heavily on R&D and production, pharmaceutical, biotech and healthcare companies all face the same dilemma:

How can we protect our temperature-sensitive products and meet government regulations?

From start-ups to Fortune 100s, companies can turn to Cold Chain Technologies to solve this sometimes confusing and difficult challenge. We understand that there are many ways to solve your cold chain challenges. It's our goal to always achieve the most effective, efficient and easy-to-use systems and packouts.

Our History

Over 40 years ago, Cold Chain Technologies was founded to support the needs of the then nascent temperature-sensitive shipping industry. Since 1967, we've come a long way by continually investing in our people, equipment, and technology. Our staff is well trained and experienced. We constantly update our state-of-the-art equipment and regularly introduce new products and solutions that emerge from our considerable research and design efforts.

We now have a global manufacturing and warehouse network with well-situated domestic hubs in Boston, MA and Nashville, TN. We're proud that our business is growing everyday, in every part of the world.

Our Lab

Cold Chain Laboratories is a premier source for expert thermal mapping, design, qualification testing, and implementation of cold chain solutions. We've tested more than 4,000 thermal package designs in our Boston-area lab that's cGMP-compliant, ISTA certified, and ASTM D3101 maintained. Our lab features multiple wide-range walk-in temperature chambers that can handle multiple LD3 and even LD9 containers. Cold Chain's highly accredited team of engineers build on their experience with Solid Works® software, our vast database of designs, and KoolDesignsTM, our proprietary thermal modeling software. We create efficient solutions to meet your diverse time, temperature, and capacity challenges.

Our Partners

Cold Chain’s global manufacturing and distribution network is enhanced by strong strategic partnerships with Topa Packaging of the Netherlands, Foam Fabricators, and Polyfoam Corporation. Topa, a major provider of cold chain solutions throughout all of Europe, is now manufacturing and distributing KoolTemp™ Insulated Containers (EPS, PUR) and Koolit® Refrigerants (bricks, gels, mats). Topa’s lab, Topa Instituut, is partnered with Cold Chain Laboratories to provide equivalent design and qualification of thermal solutions on both sides of the Atlantic. This partnership is leading to innovative designs and new products. Cold Chain’s affiliation with Foam Fabricators throughout the country, and Polyfoam in the northeast, has created a national and international network of molded cold chain products. Foam Fabricators is one of the largest shape molders of foam in North America, and a major supplier through established manufacturing affiliations in Europe, Asia, and South America.
