Temperature readout from a Cocoon traveling from Austria to Iraq
Protected by a Cocoon 1350 (which holds two Euro pallets) refrigerated container, this shipment’s internal temperature stayed within the desired range of +15 to +25 degrees C for over 13 days with no replenishment of gel packs and no opening of the unit—despite spending nearly 10 days in a desert warehouse in Baghdad with limited external temperature control.
Responsive innovation
Developing Cocoon
When a client comes to us with a challenge that current market solutions cannot meet, we innovate. The idea that became Cocoon was sparked when a manufacturing partner needed to transport pallet-sized shipments within a low frozen range, across challenging environmental conditions. Our response was a passive shipping refrigerated container solution that didn't just meet the client's needs, it revolutionized temperature-sensitive transport.
