INATECH Packaging, one of the largest suppliers of complete packaging solutions in Romania, announces the conclusion of a new strategic partnership with the German corporate group Schaumaplast. With THERMOCON, Schaumaplast has its own business unit for the development, production, and qualification of passive thermal packaging. These advanced solutions are used for shipping temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical and biotech products.

 

By strengthening the partnership, INATECH Packaging and the Schaumaplast group aim to expand in the pharmaceutical market and in the biotechnology field, two sectors that are proliferating in Romania, but also in other local markets, such as the food industry and e-commerce. Thus, INATECH Packaging is the first supplier in Romania to offer complete and pre-qualified solutions for the transport of temperature-sensitive products.

“We are pleased to strengthen our partnership with the Schaumaplast Group to bring innovative thermal packaging solutions to the pharmaceutical and biotech industry in Romania, areas where demand has grown steadily in recent years. Moreover, we are entering into a new partnership with the German group when the local pharma market is on the upward slope, with an increasing need for temperature-controlled product protection packaging and cooling solutions. Through this collaboration, we want to become a leading supplier of packaging in the pharma market, offering complete and pre-qualified packaging solutions, with a high level of protection, for the transport of temperature-sensitive products to meet the increasingly demanding requirements of our customers in these vital sectors for the country’s economy,” Cristian Bădescu, CEO of INATECH Packaging, says.

Through the partnership with INATECH Packaging for development in Romania, the Schaumaplast Group brings the experience and innovation necessary to develop customized and reliable thermal solutions under the THERMOCON brand. Thus, a complete range of Cold Chain packaging solutions adapted to the requirements and regulations of the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industry is offered, for shipping under controlled temperature conditions.

“As the demand for passive thermal solutions continues to grow within the Romanian market, we are pleased to enhance our partnership with INATECH Packaging. Being a long-time customer of THERMOCON, INATECH Packaging’s expertise makes them an ideal and strong partner. Romanian clients can benefit from personalized support through a dedicated distributor, receiving guidance in their native language. Additionally, they can expect swift response times through local storage of our THERMOCON products. Together with INATECH Packaging, we eagerly anticipate providing innovative Cold Chain solutions for the Romanian market,” Markus Hoffmann, Managing Director of Schaumaplast Group says.

THERMOCON offers an extensive range of passive thermal packaging solutions, including pre-qualified complete systems, modular options and a broad portfolio of cooling elements, virtual simulation, and dedicated climate chamber testing. INATECH Packaging ensures a permanent stock of selected packaging for the pharma industry, available for fast delivery on www.inatech-shop.ro and on the partner website www.thermocon.ro.

Thus, based on some pre-qualified tests, the entire protection system required to maintain cold (< – 15 degrees Celsius), cold (+2 to +8 degrees Celsius), or ambient (+15 to +25 degrees) temperature conditions is ensured Celsius), even at external temperature fluctuations, in response to the growing demand for passive cooling solutions on the Romanian market.

At the moment, most requests come from international distribution companies or local drug manufacturers, from all over the country.

Regarding the type of products, in 90% of cases, companies purchase complete protection solutions, thermal boxes with different capacities, and cooling elements used for the transport of temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical and biotechnological products. Thus, in most cases, thermal box packaging for pallets, from the Pallet Line range, is requested for thermal transport for large quantities, up to 1,210 liters, for a period of up to 5 days, followed by those from the Classic range Line with a loading capacity of up to 70 liters.

With the demand for customized and innovative packaging solutions for the pharmaceutical industry, INATECH has also developed a segment of complementary services for THERMOCON packaging: intermediate storage for sensitive pharmaceutical products, pre-cooling, freezing of cooling elements or packaging, and assembly of thermal solutions.

Thus, by developing the offer of packaging and complementary services for drug companies, in the upcoming years, INATECH Packaging aims to transform the temperature-controlled packaging for the pharma and biotech industries into the second largest sales segment of the company.
