A feature on a Closed Loop Partners investment
Protecting Pharmaceuticals, Meal Kits and More
TemperPack manufactures fully recyclable thermal packaging used to ship perishable goods such as food and pharmaceuticals. Their patented technology is displacing toxic polystyrene packaging.
In 2019, TemperPack made its biggest strides yet making a positive impact on the environment. In partnership with customers, including HelloFresh, Misfits Market and Diplomat Specialty Pharmacy, the insulation protected over 18 million shipments last year.
Another 2019 highlight includes the expansion of the Las Vegas facility. The team installed a new machine for manufacturing ClimaCell, which nearly doubles manufacturing capacity, allows for supply redundancy and facilitates quality customer service on the West Coast.
