Pelican BioThermal, the specialist in temperature-controlled packaging, announced the further expansion of its worldwide reach into Australia and New Zealand, effective immediately with a global reach now expanding to major pharma markets in Oceania.

Wilpak Group International will provide sales and support from its headquarters in Melbourne, Australia.

This is also an expansion of the current successful global partnership with Wilpak Group International. Pelican BioThermal said it will provide its customers the additional option to utilise their InsulCap portfolio of thermal covers to protect temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical payloads.

“We are pleased to announce the latest expansion of our global footprint,” said Vice President of worldwide sales at Pelican BioThermal Ed Meyer.

“We have expanded our distribution to Australia and New Zealand, working in conjunction with fellow industry-leading supplier Wilpak, whose technologically advanced thermal blankets complement our own product range, offering another thermal protection option for our customers.”

Managing director of Wilpak Group International Adam Wilson added: “We welcome the opportunity to develop a closer partnership with Pelican BioThermal.  Our product portfolios are complementary to managing a pharmaceutical manufacturer’s needs for temperature control during shipment.

“It’s exciting to be trusted with expanding availability of the Crēdo CoolGuard and CoolPall thermal packaging lines into Australia and New Zealand. I’m thrilled about the opportunities sure to follow and the expanded collaboration between our two companies.”

There is a growing demand for the transportation of temperature-sensitive cargo globally ensuring the need to have delicate biological materials arrive intact and effective, despite exterior environments.

Pelican BioThermal also offers a complete portfolio of services and software to support end-to-end temperature-controlled packaging asset management.

The company operates in 26 countries, with 24 international sales offices and six manufacturing facilities around the globe.
