Our take
Global cold supply chain innovation has only become more vital, particularly in recent years. However, the highly specialised market of international pharmaceutical shipments is served by just a few companies. One such company is smart airfreight container manufacturer SkyCell, the safest container solution provider for the distribution of temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products.
Through its selective group of partners (including Cargolux, Emirates SkyCargo, United Cargo, and more), the company serves a global network of over 283 destinations. It boasts a market-leading failure rate of less than 0.1%, and contributes nearly one billion data points to help the transformation of these ultra-important supply chains.
SkyCell's combination of total cost reduction and lower carbon emissions has seen it become one of the top five largest container providers for the pharmaceutical industry. It is well-funded, most recently securing investment from Lazard Asset Management that will be used to accelerate growth - putting it in a great position to continue towards its goal of creating a no-loss pharma supply chain worldwide.
