PRESS RELEASE
Würzburg, 13.12. 2016
va-Q-tec receives major order from Swiss Post for fleet of thermal
transportation boxes
- One of the largest single orders in va-Q-tec's history
- va-Q-tec to initially supply multi-use thermal box fleet to Swiss Post
- Foundation laid for strategic partnership between va-Q-tec and Swiss
Post for temperature-controlled logistics in Swiss market
- Order underscores growth momentum in va-Q-tec's healthcare business
Starting January 2017, va-Q-tec will supply Swiss Post with a fleet of
multi-use thermal boxes. These boxes will be used for the nationwide
temperature-controlled distribution of pharmaceutical products initially in
the "CRT" temperature range (Controlled Room Temperature, +15 C to +25 C).
Swiss Post selected an advanced va-Q-tec thermobox which is currently being
introduced by va-Q-tec in Germany for shipments of pharmaceutical products
to pharmacies. In a first step, va-Q-tec will supply a fleet of multi-use
boxes to Swiss Post. Thereafter, va-Q-tec will provide services for
preconditioning, processing and dispatching of boxes in Switzerland.
For the Würzburg-based high-tech company, the cooperation with Swiss Post
represents one of the largest single orders in the company's history and
the start of a strategic partnership in the Swiss market. va-Q-tec commands
a leading technological position and unrivalled process experience in the
area of temperature-controlled transportation of pharmaceutical products.
"Together with Swiss Post, our team of experts for the healthcare &
logistics market has developed an outstanding solution based on our tried
and tested technology. This major order provides a further example of how
va-Q-tec can work in partnership with a demanding blue-chip customer to
develop and provide transportation systems with accompanying services for
healthcare logistics," said va-Q-tec CEO Dr. Joachim Kuhn.
This new multi-use system based on va-Q-med(R) technology ensures secure
last-mile logistics without temperature deviations directly to the
recipient. In contrast with conventional, lower performance single-use
packaging or cost-intensive transportation with refrigerated vehicles, va-
Q-tec's transportation systems comprise environmentally friendly and
recyclable high-performance thermal solutions. The thermal box consists
largely of vacuum insulation panels ("VIPs") that va-Q-tec - as a
technology leader - produces in-house. Phase change materials ("PCMs") also
made by va-Q-tec supplement the VIPs' strong insulation performance,
ensuring reliable and energy-efficient temperature control within a
required temperature range.
About va-Q-tec:
va-Q-tec is a leading provider of highly efficient tech products and
solutions in the field of thermal insulation. The Company develops,
manufactures and sells innovative, thin vacuum insulation panels ("VIPs")
and phase change materials ("PCMs") for reliable and energy efficient
temperature control and insulation. Furthermore, by optimally integrating
VIPs and PCMs, va-Q-tec manufactures passive thermal packaging solutions
(containers and boxes), which offer constant temperature conditions between
24 and over 200 hours without using external energy sources. Within its
rental services business, the company has built a global partner network to
provide for an extensive fleet of containers and boxes fulfilling highly
demanding thermal protection standards in temperature sensitive supply
chains. Besides Healthcare & Logistics as main market, va-Q-tec addresses
additional markets such as Appliances & Food, Technics & Industry, Building
and Mobility. The strongly growing Company was founded in 2001, and has its
headquarters in Würzburg. More information on va-Q-tec under www.va-q-
