Plano-based Candor Expedite has launched Candor Food Chain, a new division utilizing advanced technology from European partner Cool Chain, to revolutionize cold shipments. This innovation allows pallet and box-sized frozen and refrigerated goods to stay cold for up to nine days without dry ice, accommodating both perishable and dry goods in a single truck.
Candor Food Chain leverages Cool Chain’s reusable cold packaging solution, which has proven successful in the pharmaceutical industry. Founder and CEO Nicole Glenn emphasizes that this technology addresses significant challenges in the frozen and refrigerated shipping market, including high costs, product damage, and delivery delays. The new solution provides real-time temperature and location monitoring, ensuring products maintain their required temperatures throughout transit.
Key features of the Candor Food Chain solution include a wide temperature range (10°F to 70°F), live temperature readings, GPS tracking, and a reusable design that eliminates the need for extra insulation and harmful refrigerants. This sustainable approach not only reduces carbon emissions but also meets environmental goals and supports Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives.
