Its new members are LOT Polish Airlines, the sixth airline to join the CCA, and Tower Cold Chain, supplier of specialist temperature-controlled containers.
Kamil Rarak, Special Cargo Product Development and Training Manager at LOT Polish Airlines says: “By joining the CCA and taking part in the Risk Management Committee, we hope to create common global standards and work towards a safe environment for handling pharmaceutical and healthcare products across the temperature-controlled supply chain.”
Nick Gilmore, Global Head of Sales and Marketing at Tower Cold Chain says: “Through working together, Tower can better assist the temperature-sensitive supply chain to reduce excursions and waste and improve sustainability, to benefit the pharmaceutical community.”
The Risk Management Committee held its first full meeting last week, sponsored by board member Eric Mauroux, and includes shipper, airline and forwarder members led by Stefan Braun, Managing Director of SmartCAE.
Mauroux says: “The group will focus on developing digital risk management strategies in order to move towards more efficient and smarter pharma and perishable supply chains.”
The committee consists of Rogier Rook, Logistics Director of Nature’s Pride; Kamil Rarak, Special Cargo Product Development and Training Manager of LOT Polish Airlines; and Xavier Ripoli, Sales and Marketing Director of Able Freight; and a pharmaceutical company is due to join later this week.
The committee is part of the CCA’s newly-launched Technical Committee programme, which aims to assist, analyse, study and manage critical points affecting quality, as well as developing standards and initiating projects.
