Peli BioThermal and Polar portfolios support all major temperature ranges used in pharmaceutical distribution and clinical research, including ambient, refrigerated, frozen and deep-frozen conditions. The company's reusable shippers are used worldwide for commercial medicines, clinical trials and advanced therapies.

The partnership further reinforces Peli BioThermal's ongoing investment in a connected global cold chain infrastructure, helping customers reliably transport sensitive therapies while maintaining regulatory compliance and product integrity.
