Candor debuts reusable cold packaging solution
A new cold chain solution from transportation company Candor Expedite allows pallet and box-sized frozen and refrigerated shipments to travel by regular transport and stay frozen or refrigerated for up to nine days.
The technology, developed in partnership with European provider Cool Chain, is part of Candor’s new cold chain division, Candor Food Chain, according to a news release.
The fully reusable cold packaging solution consolidates deliveries of perishable and dry goods in one truck that supports three different temperatures —frozen, refrigerated and ambient, according to the release.
Cool Chain has been working with pharmaceutical companies for more than a decade.
“I’ve witnessed the challenges shippers face in the frozen and refrigerated market. The excessive expenditure, along with issues like damaged products and delayed deliveries, is alarming,” Nicole Glenn, founder and CEO of Candor Expedite, said in the release. “We’re excited to bring this new, unique technology to the food industry — reducing costs, eliminating claims and offering real-time temperature and location monitoring.”
Candor Food Chain features include:
- Temperature readings and GPS tracking with live feeds on the products’ temperature and location.
- No dry ice. Specific-sized boxes or pallets can hold temperature for four days on small boxes and nine days for a pallet.
- In addition to reducing carbon and refrigerant emissions, the boxes are reusable, contain no harmful toxins and do not require extra insulation and cardboard.
- A logistics expert to monitor and respond to any temperature changes.
Founded in 2017, Candor Expedite is headquartered in Plano, Texas, with offices in Joliet, Illinois and Kansas City, Kansas.
