Persistently high summer temperatures are creating increasingly demanding temperature-control challenges for pharmaceutical air transportation. Recently, with the professional support of global freight forwarder JAS, HB TempCon successfully completed a 2–8°C temperature-controlled pharmaceutical shipment from Beijing to Milan, Italy. This marked the first international commercial shipment using an HB TempCon RKN-AT1 active temperature-controlled container from Beijing.

The shipment was transported using the HB TempCon RKN-AT1 active temperature-controlled container. Despite the high summer temperatures and the operational complexities involved in international air transportation, the RKN-AT1 provided continuous and reliable protection through its stable active cooling system and precise temperature-control capabilities.

Meanwhile, JAS leveraged its extensive expertise in pharmaceutical logistics and international air freight to carefully coordinate the transportation plan, on-site operations and connections between each stage of the shipment. The teams worked closely throughout the process, from pre-shipment preparation and container handling to operational support during air transportation, ensuring that every step was carried out smoothly and efficiently.

With the close cooperation and professional support of both teams, the shipment was successfully completed and the pharmaceuticals arrived safely in Milan, with the temperature remaining consistently within the required 2–8°C range throughout the journey. The successful operation not only demonstrated the reliability of the RKN-AT1 in international pharmaceutical cold-chain transportation under challenging summer conditions, but also highlighted the strong coordination between HB TempCon and JAS in equipment performance, transportation management and operational execution.

Looking ahead, HB TempCon will continue working closely with airlines, freight forwarders and pharmaceutical logistics partners worldwide to further expand its temperature-controlled air transportation network and provide safe, stable and reliable global solutions for temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, biologics and other high-value healthcare products.
