Tower Cold Chain Opens American Center of Excellence in Philadelphia

Tower Cold Chain—a company that rents containers to the pharma industry for temperature-specific transport—has opened its new headquarters in the Americas region. Located in Philadelphia, just 1.6 miles from PHL International Airport, the 26,000 square-foot facility will contribute to Tower’s container conditioning and storage capabilities.

Following the success of its Center of Excellence in the UK, the company has replicated this model, with its latest facility offering design, laboratory, and testing capabilities in the development of its temperature-controlled solutions.
 
The newly established Americas headquarters also includes office space accessible to customers, providing opportunities for meetings, demonstrations, as well as new product development in partnership with customers. With the new plant, Tower Cold Chain aims to strengthen its collaborative partnerships with pharma manufacturers, airlines, and third-party logistics providers (3PLs) in the region.

“ … This marks a significant step in Tower’s growth trajectory,” says Niall Balfour, Tower’s CEO. “As demand for robust, reliable, reusable pharmaceutical logistics continues to surge, our investment in strategic locations enables us to provide essential support for the seamless transportation of temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical and life-science products.”
