Medicines are fundamental products in everyone's daily life and, at times, they are vital. We are used to going to the pharmacy and buying them without any trouble, but we are rarely aware of the complex distribution chain that lets us access them easily and immediately. How are medicines transported? What special requirements does a vehicle need to carry them?

Controlling the pharmaceutical distribution chain, from manufacturing or import to dispensing, is essential to guarantee the quality of medicines and to certify that storage, transport and supply conditions are adequate. With this goal, Econtainers uses refrigerated containers to store and transport pharmaceuticals and medicines.

Vehicles that carry medicines must be kept clean and secure, the goods must be stowed so that neither their condition nor their packaging is compromised and, one of the most important points, the temperature must always be the one specified by the manufacturer. Equipment that monitors the temperature during transport is a must.

With the Econtainers Reefer line we handle your supplies under the highest quality standards in line with applicable regulations. Our units meet health requirements and keep supplies at controlled temperatures so product quality is never compromised and the cargo stays free of contaminants.
