[Background to product development]

The medical and pharmaceutical industries among others require strict temperature control of their products during transport, and there is growing interest in environmental-friendly logistics services across all industries. As a key measure in its growth strategy for core businesses, the NX Group has positioned the pharmaceutical industry as a priority industry in the "NX Group Business Plan 2023 - Dynamic Growth" and has accordingly been expanding its temperature-controlled transport services.

Nippon Express is the first Japanese logistics company to partner with EMBALL'ISO (headquartered in France) by developing a new service combining EMBALL'ISO's reusable passive (non-powered) high-performance isothermal packaging with international air transport and thereby enhancing its temperature-controlled transport services. This new environmental-friendly service will help reduce its customers' CO2 emissions while strictly maintaining the required temperatures during transport.
