SAF-T-PAK in new distribution deal with Laminar Medica

A producer of regulatory packaging used for shipping infectious substances has teamed up with Laminar Medica to distribute its new insulated shipping system.

SAF-T-PAK will distribute Laminar's Chilltherm National Insulated Shipping System across North America and Canada in a move that is expected to give SAF-T-PAK access into greater markets, such as pharmaceuticals, biologicals and in-vitro diagnostic reagents.

The six-product Chilltherm National line was developed to provide a consistent temperature of between 2 and 8ºC for critical medical, pharmaceutical or healthcare products, ensuring the products arrive at their destination with their integrity intact. Also available will be the Chilltherm 470 pallet system for bulk shipments of 2 - 8ºC products.

Laminar Medica managing director Stuart Coomber, said: "Laminar Medica is excited to have SAF-T-PAK as our North American distributor as they are already well recognised within the clinical trial, laboratory and pharmaceutical markets as the leader of regulatory training and certified packaging for Infectious Substances. The Laminar product line is a natural extension of SAF-T-PAK's current product offering, and helps to solidify Laminar Medica's position as the leading manufacturer of fully qualified temperature control shipping systems."

According to David Hebrank, general manager of SAF-T-PAK: "The addition of the Laminar Medica product line to our offerings strengthens our ability to service all of our North American customer's temperature controlled shipping needs. Our new distribution agreement truly makes the relationship between SAF-T-PAK and Laminar Medica a partnership for each company's benefit."

Laminar Medica specialises in the design, test, manufacture & qualification of insulated shipping systems, used by the pharmaceutical & biotech industries globally. These systems protect vaccines, drugs, blood & associated medical products from extremes of temperature during transportation.
