DoKaSch Temperature Solutions has appointed Emily Tang as sales and business development manager for China.

The provider of temperature-controlled packaging solutions says the new position was created specifically to further strengthen the company’s global presence in one of the most important Asian-Pacific regions for the pharma and biotech industry.

Based in Guangdong in southern China, Tang said: “The APAC-Region and especially China is a strong growth market for pharmaceutical manufacturing. We are seeing a sharp increase in clinical trials, as multinational companies and local pharmaceutical producers have started to engage in more and more of these trials in multiple countries here.”

Tang already has experience dealing with the needs of customers using the Opticooler® packaging solution, an active temperature-controlled air freight container which boasts extremely high levels of safety and reliability.

Tang added: “DoKaSch Temperature Solutions’ Opticooler® will play an important role in supporting the rise of the Chinese and Asian-Pacific pharma industry by providing reliable cold chains for biologics, vaccines, and APIs.”

Tang brings with her a wealth of experience and expertise in cold chain logistics in the APAC region. Prior to joining DoKaSch TS, she held key positions in renowned companies within the industry. Notably, she worked at World Courier where she managed business operations in South and Southwest China.

Tang also worked at Catalent Solutions gaining insights into clinical trial supplies across multiple countries. As part of their APAC team, she was responsible for business development in Southern and Southwestern China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

Andreas Seitz, managing director of DoKaSch TS, said: “By bringing Emily on board, we are gaining an experienced international business development professional who is well-versed in the cold chain business in China and the APAC region.

“After the establishment of our service stations in Beijing, Tokyo and the Indian city of Hyderabad, the appointment of our sales and business development manager in China is another important step in the execution of our Asia strategy.”
