Temperature-controlled packaging solutions company Peli BioThermal has opened a new service centre in India.

The new site is a full service network station offering conditioning and refurbishment services for the company’s Crēdo Cargo and Crēdo Xtreme bulk shippers.

The centre is based in Ahmedabad, a major manufacturing hub for pharma companies including Astra Zeneca, Swiss Pharma and Torrent Pharma.

Commenting on the news, Peli BioThermal’s vice president of global services Dominic Hyde said: “This is the latest development of our rapidly expanding Crēdo on Demand rental programme. Ahmedabad is a key site where more than eight of India’s largest pharma companies have multiple plants operating, which are all major exporters to markets in Europe and the US.

“Our market-leading, high-performing products will be readily available for our customers in the region which is an area of significant growth for multiple clinical research organisations conducting clinical trials, another area of growth in India.

“Peli BioThermal’s new India service centre is the latest location in our growing global drop points, service centres and network stations, supporting rental programs to more than 100 locations, as we continue to extensively expand our infrastructure worldwide to better meet the complex needs of our international customers.”
