Tower Cold Chain has unveiled a series of upgrades to its KTEvolution container solution tailored for direct-to-patient shipments, sample transport, and final mile deliveries in temperature-controlled environments. These upgrades see the introduction of a new 'click and collect' service, which helps expedite the order pickup process. In addition, Tower Cold Chain is now offering the option for businesses to purchase and customize the KTEvolution to seamlessly integrate it into their circular supply chain, thereby enhancing the sustainability of their operations.
"The industry wanted smaller solutions that are lightweight, manually portable and tailored towards the growing trend towards personalised medicines and clinical trial samples. The concept has proven so popular that we’re introducing new ways to rent – or buy – the KTEvolution, to further improve accessibility for our customers," said Niall Balfour, chief executive of Tower Cold Chain.
