Peli BioThermal Wins Queen’s Award for Enterprise Innovation
Peli BioThermal, a global leader in providing the life science industry with the broadest range of passive single-use and reusable temperature controlled packaging, is pleased to announce it has been awarded the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise for Innovation.
Peli BioThermal, which prides itself on its culture of innovation and the design of pioneering products, is celebrating the news the company has received Royal recognition as winners in the UK’s most prestigious enterprise awards.
As a Queen’s Awards winner Peli BioThermal has been recognised for its exceptional performance in the Innovation award category and as exemplars in its field. The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise are the United Kingdom’s most distinguished business awards, which celebrate enterprise excellence.
Peli BioThermal won the accolade for demonstrating outstanding results in innovation within the temperature controlled packaging sector serving the pharmaceutical industry.
The eminent honour was awarded for the development of Peli BioThermal’s pioneering product, Chronos™ Advance. The Chronos™ Advance range of single-use shippers utilise advanced insulation and phase change material to give consistent, reliable temperature stability and was the innovation of engineers at Peli BioThermal, based in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire in the UK. When showcasing why the innovative shipper system was triumphant, The Queen’s Awards judges remarked how “the system offers high reliability, improved performance and weight benefits”.
The judging panel highlighted how “Peli BioThermal has used a material with high latent heat, combined with vacuum insulation panels in a single use shipping carton that can keep contents at a stable temperature for greater than 120 hours. The system offers high reliability, improved performance and weight benefits. It can maintain samples in the temperature ranges of -20 degrees, +2 to +8 degrees, +15 to +25 degrees. Its simple design reduces the potential for human packaging error and makes manufacture more streamlined”.
David Williams, President of Peli BioThermal, said: “We are delighted to announce Peli BioThermal is the winner of the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise for Innovation.
“This is a momentous occasion for the entire company, including the highly skilled engineers involved in the design of our Chronos™ Advance system, which successfully set new standards within the temperature controlled packaging industry.
Peli BioThermal prides itself on constantly striving for excellence and pushing the boundaries of innovation with pioneering products to meet our customers’ needs.”
