The pharmaceutical industry plays an important role in Israel’s economy with Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport acting as the central hub for international trade.
Using Opticoolers means El Al is able to transport temperature-sensitive products to and from its headquarters at Ben Gurion airport in the belly of passenger aircraft and its cargo aircraft.
Moshe Popovich, Pharma Manager at El Al Cargo Division, says, “Pharmaceuticals are the fastest growing market segment in the air cargo industry. However, temperature fluctuations during transport can pose a serious threat to the integrity of these sensitive products. As Israel's national airline with an extensive global network, an efficient and reliable cold chain service is therefore crucial for us. The Master Rental Agreement with DoKaSch Temperature Solutions supports our high standards in this area and enables us to offer our customers stable and high-quality transportation for their pharmaceutical shipments.”
Dor Saidof, Global Marketing Manager and Business Development Manager Israel at DoKaSch Temperature Solutions, adds, “The Master Rental Agreement with El Al Airlines now opens up further possibilities for the market to ship their temperature-sensitive goods to and from Israel. Especially in a country with a hot climate like Israel, it is essential that the packaging solution can reliably protect the sensitive goods.”
