What Is Cold Chain Logistics?
Cold chain logistics is a specialised branch of supply chain management dedicated to products that require specific thermal conditions to remain viable. A break in the cold chain can lead to spoiled goods, lost revenue, and compromised patient safety.
The FET Cold Chain Framework includes:
- Temperature-Controlled Fleet: Modern vehicles equipped with advanced refrigeration to maintain stability.
- Specialised Packaging: High-performance solutions to prevent thermal degradation during transit.
- GDP-Trained Personnel: A team skilled in Good Distribution Practice and international regulatory compliance.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Systems that detect, log, and prevent temperature fluctuations before they affect the cargo.
At FET, our cold chain management safeguards critical products—including vaccines, plasma, Investigational Medicinal Products (IMPs), and perishable goods—preserving their value at every stage.
