In the food and pharmaceutical sectors, maintaining the correct temperature during transport is essential to guarantee quality, safety and compliance with health regulations. This is why we talk about the cold chain: the system that keeps perishable products at a controlled temperature throughout the entire supply chain.

From production to final delivery, every stage — storage, transport and distribution — must ensure that products remain within specific temperature ranges. When this does not happen, what is known as a cold chain break occurs, which can compromise product quality and encourage bacterial growth.

Many products are particularly sensitive to temperature swings. Maintaining stable thermal conditions makes it possible to:

• preserve food freshness

• guarantee food safety

• comply with health regulations

• reduce waste and financial losses

Products that require temperature-controlled transport include meat and fish, dairy products, fresh and ready-to-eat products and frozen foods, as well as medicines and medical products.

One of the most delicate stages of the cold chain is transport. This is why refrigerated vehicles fitted with insulated bodies and refrigeration units are used, designed to maintain constant temperatures even on long journeys or during frequent loading and unloading operations. The quality of the vehicle’s insulation and fit-out is therefore essential to ensure that the temperature is properly maintained.

To ensure the efficiency of the cold chain, it is important to use properly fitted-out vehicles equipped with high-performance insulation systems.
