Temperature-controlled packaging specialist Thergis has officially joined the Cold Chain Federation, becoming part of a growing network of businesses working across the UK’s temperature-controlled supply chain.
The membership brings Thergis together with manufacturers, logistics providers, cold storage operators, transport specialists and other organisations responsible for protecting temperature-sensitive products throughout their journey.
For Thergis, joining the Federation represents an opportunity to contribute practical packaging knowledge while learning from the wider experience of businesses operating across the cold chain.
Temperature-controlled supply chains depend on many different organisations working together effectively. From production and storage to transport and final delivery, every stage has an important role in maintaining product quality, safety and integrity.
Packaging sits at the centre of that process.
The right thermal packaging solution can help maintain the required temperature range, reduce exposure to external conditions and provide additional protection during handling and transportation. This is particularly important for products such as chilled and frozen food, healthcare supplies, pharmaceuticals and other temperature-sensitive goods.
However, packaging must also perform in real operating environments.
Delivery distances, seasonal temperature changes, packing processes, product types and the length of time a shipment remains in transit can all influence how a packaging solution performs. A system that works effectively for one supply chain may not be suitable for another.
Thergis works with businesses to develop and supply temperature-controlled packaging solutions that reflect these practical requirements. Its range includes gel packs, insulated liners, paper-based thermal packaging, insulated bags and complete packaging systems for chilled and temperature-sensitive deliveries.
Joining the Cold Chain Federation will allow the company to take part in wider industry discussions around the challenges facing cold chain operators and the opportunities available to improve performance.
These conversations are becoming increasingly important as supply chains respond to changing customer expectations, regulatory requirements and environmental pressures.
Businesses are being asked to deliver temperature-sensitive products more efficiently while also reviewing the amount of packaging they use, the materials selected and what happens to those materials after delivery.
Addressing these issues requires input from across the supply chain.
Packaging manufacturers need to understand how their products are packed, stored and transported. Logistics providers need solutions that are straightforward to use within busy operations. Customers and end users need clear information about handling, reuse and disposal.
Stronger collaboration can help ensure these different requirements are considered from the beginning rather than treated as separate issues.
Thergis believes membership of the Cold Chain Federation will provide a valuable platform for sharing this practical insight and supporting conversations that lead to meaningful improvements.
A spokesperson for Thergis said:
“We’re pleased to have officially joined the Cold Chain Federation and to become part of a network that represents so many different areas of the temperature-controlled supply chain.
“What’s particularly encouraging is the opportunity for manufacturers, logistics providers and cold chain specialists to share knowledge and learn from one another.
“Thermal packaging has an important role to play in protecting temperature-sensitive products, but it cannot be considered in isolation. The best results come from understanding the complete journey, including how products are packed, handled, transported and delivered.
“We’re looking forward to contributing our experience, listening to the challenges faced by other members and exploring how the industry can continue to improve the way temperature-sensitive products are protected in transit.”
The future of temperature-controlled delivery will not be shaped by individual businesses working alone. It will depend on organisations across the cold chain sharing knowledge, raising standards and developing solutions that work across real supply chains.
Through its membership, Thergis hopes to contribute to that progress while continuing to help customers identify reliable, practical and responsible temperature-controlled packaging solutions.
Thergis would like to thank the Cold Chain Federation and its members for the warm welcome.
