Luxembourg-based manufacturer attributes increase in demand to the current pandemic
B Medical Systems, a manufacturer and distributor of medical refrigeration and vaccine cold chain technology, is collaborating with Kuehne+Nagel, a third-party logistics (3PL) provider, for the opening of a new distribution center in Luxembourg. The 19,685 square-foot distribution center can hold more than 6,000 products at any given time, the companies report.
Among its offerings, B Medical Systems provides vaccine refrigerators and freezers, laboratory refrigerators and freezers, and vaccine transport boxes for the safe storage and transport of vaccines, medicines and biospecimens. According to the company, during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, it has been able to support governments, health ministries and international organizations with setting up cold chains for vaccine storage at various temperature ranges, depending on the specific vaccine’s requirements.
And as a result of the additional demand, B Medical has also expanded its production facility in Luxembourg, opened up a new facility in India and in March, teamed up with Cold Chain Technologies to bring end-to-end thermal shipping and storage solutions to the life science market.
