Rueil Malmaison, France: – Temperature-controlled logistics and pharmaceutical cold chain packaging specialist Sofrigam will be a prominent presence as sponsor and exhibitor at the upcoming GIRP Supply Chain Conference in Vienna.

The Sofrigam Group stand at the Schönbrunn Parkhotel will feature a range of cost-effective and eco-friendly cold chain solutions that increase efficiency and environmental performance by increasing thermal performance, reducing overall weight, maximizing payload volume, minimizing preparation and loading times. The combined effect is to minimize total cost of ownership (TCO).

Disruptive Coldway Inside technologies

The Sofrigam display will feature leading-edge solutions developed by subsidiary Coldway. Its disruptive Coldway Inside autonomous refrigeration technology offers new active and passive cold chain solutions for the biopharma industry with rollaway cabinets and containers provide sustainable, efficient and ergonomic temperature-controlled storage and shipping. These use an innovative and unique instant cold production process that keeps products between 0 and +25°C for up to 24 hours without any external power connection while emitting no noise, pollution, and requiring minimal maintenance.

Ideal for storing and transporting pharmaceutical products independently, Coldway inside solutions also guarantee temperature control and monitoring thanks to their integrated traceability system.

Industry leading efficiencies

Visitors to the stand will also be able to see Elite Cubic protective packaging solution that can deliver temperature stability for up to 168-hours, industry-leading internal to external volume ratios and reduced weight for shipping more products, reducing logistics costs and carbon footprint.

Sofrigam’s Elite Cubic parcel shippers offer maximum mechanical protection thanks to unique SoVIP+ technology that resists bending, puncturing or loss of thermal performance due to an external shock, while also being multi-reusable, fully washable and with all components replaceable.
