Sonoco ThermoSafe knows that when cold chain logistics fail, lives can be put at risk due to thermally compromised pharmaceutical products.

“That’s why we set out to innovate and create the safest and most user-friendly air freight container available, to reduce the risks and ensure valuable pharmaceutical products arrive in perfect condition and on- time. Drawing upon the extensive industry experience of ThermoSafe and leveraging the latest technology developed in ISC labs, we are proud to offer the market the Pegasus ULD that delivers superior performance and unmatched duration – up to 13 days at 2-8°C,” Federico Lupp, Head of Business Development Bulk Rental EMEA & APAC, Sonoco ThermoSafe said.

As the only Advanced Passive Temperature Control Container (TCC) on the market, we expect lively dialogue on how combining the ease of a ULD with passive cooling technology simplifies shipping and airport operations. As a reusable container, it reduces waste and improves sustainability by streamlining return logistics. The Pegasus ULD has Master Lease Agreements in place with most major airlines offering an extensive global network to multi- national pharmaceutical companies.
