Temp-controlled packaging specialist opens on demand drop point in Canada

Temperature-controlled packaging specialist, Peli BioThermal, has opened its first Crēdo on demand drop point located at the ATS Healthcare headquarters in Toronto, Canada.

This new drop point will further expand the company’s on demand rental programme, providing an additional point of return for reusable shipping assets. Additionally, ATS Healthcare is also a distributor for Peli BioThermal products throughout Canada.

“The Canadian pharmaceutical market is already the 10th-largest in the world and is forecasted to grow into a $25 billion industry by 2021,” explained Dominic Hyde, vice president of Crēdo on Demand at Peli BioThermal. “Our Crēdo rental programmes provide customers with a cost-effective way of quickly expanding container fleets based on demand, without adding to overhead costs. Additional drop points, like that being offered at ATS Healthcare in Toronto, add further flexibility.”

“In our experience, the Crēdo on Demand rental programme provides the best range of temperature controlled passive shipper rental and leasing options. With so many of our customers already using Crēdo shippers to protect payloads with critical temperature requirements, we’re confident the addition of this drop point will allow us to better serve customers who are looking to improve payload volume efficiency and lower distribution costs,” added Bob Brogan, COO of ATS Healthcare.

The new drop off point will offer both companies’ customers an additional option for returning the Crēdo on Demand assets at the end of the rental period, including Crēdo Xtreme pallet shippers and Crēdo Cargo bulk shippers.

To better support the rapidly expanding Crēdo on Demand programme, the company is expanding both number of network stations — which act as the origin point for new assets, provide services including, and act as end of rental drop-off — as well as the number of drop points. The new Toronto drop point is one of more than 50 new drop points planned for 2018, including eight drop points in the US and 13 drop points across Europe already announced.
