Transport Testing and Cold Chain Management

At Valcomm, we assess the integrity of a company’s cold chain management.

Cold chain refers to the undisrupted series of logistical activities including packaging, shipping, storage, distribution and handling of products that must be maintained within a given temperature range for its whole shipment process. It is essential for products like food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and vaccines.

Shipping information

Shipping Routes

We test the cold chain management of your entire shipping route from point of manufacture, throughout the journey and onto the final delivery. We use dedicated environmental chamber testing and simulated live routes to obtain the most accurate results.

Shipping Containers

Our state-of-the-art testing facilities simulate the harsh conditions your containers will face during transportation, including vibrations, shocks, and environmental factors. By subjecting your containers to rigorous testing, we can evaluate their durability and the effectiveness of your packaging in protecting the contents.

All in the detail

Due diligence in cold chain means not simply using a qualified shipper but qualifying the shipper to perform within the entire shipping process, whether overnight, or extended periods of time to another region.

Commissioning a transit study to qualify your shipping system will lower costs including dramatically reducing loss of material and the repetitive testing of suspect material.

A transit study will allow you to identify when a more expensive shipper combined with a less expensive transport option is more cost-effective than a less expensive shipper, combined with the occasional use of a specialised courier service.
