Germany-based container manufacturer DoKaSch Temperature Solutions recently partnered with China Airlines to expands its global network and lease Opticooler temperature-controlled ULDs to customer in the carrier’s network.
Opticooler is designed for “extremely temperature-sensitive air cargo shipments,” said China Airlines in a statement. “In this strongly competitive market, it is key that we offer our shared customers the best possible solution for their most precious cargo.”
The Opticooler, using active cooling technology, is deigned specifically to maintain temperature control of pharmaceuticals thoughout the supply chain, regardless of the weather conditions. Electric, battery-powered cooling compressors and heaters located within the ULD keep the temperature inside the Opticooler to a pre-set temperature range.
“We are very pleased to make our Opticooler available through China Airlines,” said Andreas Seitz, managing director of DoKaSch. “Especially as Asia, and in particular Taiwan, is one of the main hubs for the fast growing market of pharma goods.”
Additionally to the main hub Taiwan, the DoKaSch/China Airlines deal will make the Opticooler deployable at 93 destinations, across 27 countries in China Airlines’s network.
