HGP – TemperPack Launches Proving Ground: The Country’s Newest ISTA-Certified Thermal Transport Lab

Packaging leader becomes eighth US company with thermal capability to gain ISTA certification
RICHMOND, Va., May 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — TemperPack announced today that it has been awarded certification by the International Safe Transit Authority (ISTA®) for its thermal transport lab, Proving Ground. TemperPack has invested over $1 million into the Richmond-based facility, which was developed to design and validate thermal shipping systems for emerging diagnostics, biologics, and mail order pharmacy industries.
“This is strategic for us. The rise of perishables in the last-mile has sharpened the focus on packaging innovation – and these solutions need to be sustainable, consumer friendly, and compliant with FDA and URAC standards. Getting to a format that works for all stake holders is front and center for many large companies right now – and TemperPack is partnering with them to make that happen.” said James McGoff, Co-Founder and Co-CEO.
TemperPack manufactures ClimaCell™ coolers, which are fully recyclable at curbside and powered by renewable materials. ClimaCell represents a significant breakthrough in packaging engineering and technology, allowing companies to protect temperature sensitive shipments in the life science and food industries for 72+ hours while significantly reducing packaging waste.
