DoKaSch Temperature Solutions, a specialist in temperature-controlled active packaging, has opened new Opticooler stations in Miami, USA and Dublin, Ireland. These strategic locations enhance DoKaSch TS’s reach and provide better access to its reliable packaging solutions in the Americas and Europe, supporting the global supply of life-saving medicines.
Located near Miami International Airport (MIA), this new station will increase the availability of Opticooler in the southern US and offer more flexibility to customers in the region as well as Latin America. The station has an initial capacity of 30 containers and is to be expanded further in future.
Miami International Airport, the 10th busiest in the US, is a major hub for air traffic between the Americas and Latin America. The airport handles over 451,000 square feet of specialized facilities for temperature sensitive goods, making it an ideal location for pharmaceutical distribution. In 2023 alone, $3.9 billion worth of medical products were managed at MIA.
The Dublin station, with a starting capacity for 40 containers, highlights Ireland's growing importance in the life sciences sector. Ireland is home to manufacturing facilities for the world's top 10 pharmaceutical and biopharma companies and is the fifth-largest exporter of pharmaceutical products, according to the OECD.
The new Opticooler stations in Miami and Dublin align perfectly with DoKaSch Temperature Solutions' comprehensive Free Delivery Areas. This service ensures that the Opticooler RAP and RKN containers are delivered directly to the loading point, with DoKaSch handling the organization and coordination. Large Free Delivery Areas are available in Europe and the United States, with smaller regions covered in Asia, offering significant transport cost savings.
The company's goal is to deliver the Opticooler the evening before the rental period starts, ensuring the container is fully conditioned and ready for use.
Even outside the Free Delivery Zones, DoKaSch provides worldwide delivery, ensuring clients benefit from cost savings, enhanced efficiency, and improved flexibility. With the opening of the new stations, these benefits are now more accessible, enhancing their global network and connectivity.
Andreas Seitz, managing director of DoKaSch Temperature Solutions, commented, “The new stations in Miami and Dublin are significant milestones in our expansion strategy. Our goal is to ensure the best availability of our Opticooler worldwide and provide a reliable cold chain. These new locations will enhance our reach to customers in the Americas and Europe.”
DoKaSch’s Opticooler is known for its exceptional reliability and thermal stability in transporting sensitive pharmaceutical products. The containers feature advanced batteries and technology to maintain constant temperatures, ensuring product quality and eliminating the need for reloading and intermediate storage.
With these expansions, DoKaSch TS continues to strengthen its global network, ensuring the safe and efficient distribution of pharmaceutical products across key markets.
