The Cool Chain Association (CCA) continues to grow. MSC Air Cargo became its latest member, recently. The CCA was set up to offer a platform where member companies can collaborate to improve the temperature-controlled supply chain. MSC Air Cargo, part of the Swiss, 1970-incepted MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company, which is meanwhile present in 155 countries across the world, offering a strong network of road, rail, air, and sea transport, will thus work together with CCA members to drive quality and innovation in the temperature-controlled supply chain. The end result: reducing food loss/wastage and improved pharmaceuticals transport. “The Association has recently launched a best practice video for perishables based on key findings from recent trials by CCA Board member the Perishable Products Export Control Board (PPECB), and is planning to pilot similar trials in the pharmaceutical sector,” the release states.
Joern Roehl, Head of Products, Quality and Transformation, MSC Air Cargo, explained: “As a member of CCA, we are partnering with leaders in the cold chain to collaboratively address challenges and drive innovation. MSC Air Cargo will be contributing to the community surrounding quality and value in the temperature-controlled supply chain.”
Stavros Evangelakakis, Chairman, CCA, and Head of Global Healthcare, Cargolux, said: “CCA members continue to work together to find new ways to improve the temperature-controlled supply chain, and MSC Air Cargo brings immense knowledge and experience to help us achieve those goals. We are confident that we will benefit, not only from MSC Air Cargo’s great insight but also its high profile to encourage others collaborate with the CCA in its pursuit of greater efficiencies throughout the cool chain.”
