For years, Sandoz had used prevalidated expanded polystyrene cold chain shippers and ice packs to overnight-mail temperature-sensitive injectable liquids to U.S. customers from its Mechanicsburg, PA, distribution center. But when the company changed its outer shipping containers, it also switched to shippers made from Green Cell Foam™ cushioning material supplied by KTM Industries.
The 500,000-sq-ft Mechanicsburg facility serves as a third-party distribution operation for Sandoz products made worldwide. The facility receives boxes on pallets and manually fills product into them.
