FedEx launches cold chain solutions for China
FedEx Express has launched new “one-stop” cold chain solutions in mainland China. Outbound FedEx International Priority (IP) Service and domestic Priority Delivery Service in China now offer two packaging solutions: Gel-pack Temperature-Controlled Package and FedEx Cold Shipping Package.
The Gel-pack Temperature-Controlled Package Solution offers a temperature-controlled environment covering three ranges (-20-0°C, 2-8°C and 15-25°C for 72-120 hours) in a range of package sizes from 10L to 3,410L.
With the FedEx Cold Shipping Package Solution, no pre-conditioning steps are required, and the package maintains a temperature of 2-8°C for up to 96 hours.
These solutions can be used in combination with FedEx Priority Alert and the “Temperature Data Logger” device for proactive monitoring and notification of the status of a shipment and the temperature data during transportation.
FedEx “one-stop” cold chain solutions are available across mainland China, with “door-to-door” express and monitoring services offered across the FedEx global and domestic networks.
“FedEx has made a conscious effort to innovate and develop logistics solutions that address the specific needs of different industries, including cold chain solutions for our healthcare customers,” said Karen Reddington, president, FedEx Express Asia Pacific.
