Pelican Biothermal Announces Asia Award Win For Innovation

Pelican BioThermal, the global name in temperature controlled packaging, was announced as winner of the Innovation in Supply Chain of the Year category at the prestigious Asia-Pacific Bioprocessing Excellence Awards 2020. 

It is the second successive year Pelican BioThermal has won an accolade at the awards ceremony, celebrating excellence within the biologics sector, where the company received recognition for its outstanding performance as a supplier serving the biopharma industry. 

Pelican BioThermal is celebrating winning this latest major accolade, which follows previous awards won worldwide, for its pioneering products and services. This is the second year in a row the company triumphed at the Asia-Pacific Bioprocessing Excellence Awards and follows Pelican BioThermal’s success in 2019 when it won an award for its high-performing passive packaging. 

The latest award achievement comes as the company continues to rapidly grow its presence in Asia, expanding its operations and infrastructure in the region, positioning itself as a leading solutions supplier within the biologics sector. Most recently the company announced the opening of a new network station and drop point in Incheon, South Korea, which joins more than 100 key locations globally supporting the life sciences industry supplying services and high performing products for the safe transportation of pharmaceuticals, clinical trials, diagnostics, tissue, vaccines and blood supplies worldwide.

Benson Teo, Pelican BioThermal’s senior director of sales, Asia, said: “We are delighted and excited to receive this prestigious award in recognition of the innovation and excellence our products and services continue to deliver to the sector.

“It is an honor to again receive an award, this time for our innovation within the supply chain, which demonstrates how Pelican BioThermal continues to lead the sector with its high performing solutions, offering the most comprehensive range of award-winning, pioneering thermal protection packaging products. To win an award for the second successive year in a row is an outstanding achievement.”

Award organizers highlighted Pelican BioThermal and fellow award winners were recognized as “industry leaders and trend-setters in the biopharma scene and we wish to accord the highest honor of acknowledgement and appreciation for efforts to facilitate biomanufacturing excellence at enhanced speed, reduced cost, and superior quality all across Asia and the rest of the world”. 

The awards ceremony was held on July 8 in conjunction with the 7th Annual Biologics Manufacturing Asia 2020 and 4th Annual Biologistics World Asia 2020 conference, which saw more than 500 representatives from Asia’s leading biologic manufacturers, companies and organizations gather for the virtual event.
