Our take
Cold supply chains are vital for pharmaceutical shipments, but this highly specialised market is still served by just a few companies. SkyCell sets out to innovate the space with its smart airfreight container, the safest container solution 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 250 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 has secured substantial funding over the years, most recently investing in the expansion of its global footprint with a key focus on the US and Asia.
