Aircontainer Package System (APS) is the pioneer in PCM temperature controlled package system for transports of temperature sensitive products from the Pharmaceutical and Life Science industries.
The company was founded in June 2006 as a result of a buy-out from AB Aircontainer A.C. (AC). Before splitting up in two separate companies, R&D and products now belonging to APS had been incubated for some years in AC. Due to different customer segments in which AC’s customers are airlines and APS’ customers are end users like Life Science and Pharmaceutical companies, the decision to establish two separate companies was unanimous amongst AC’s share holders.
The basic idea was to develop a user-friendly package solution designed to maintain required temperature for door-to-door transportation in ranges for deep frozen -18°C, refrigerated +2°C to +8°C and room temperature +15°C to +25°C.
The founder and product inventor, Thomas Björk, had been perfecting the idea for years in AC together with Peter Hill, R&D Manager of the Division of Applied Thermodynamics & Refrigeration at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm Sweden. When he started, existing package solutions on the market offered only passive cooling by traditional water-based gel packs and dry ice, making it difficult to maintain required temperatures and thereby endangering the goods.
Now with many years of R&D and testing, APS has launched both standard as well as custom made package solutions. Sizes range from small boxes to half- and full pallet containers. Depending on individual customer requirements the containers are tested and validated for shipments from 24 to 120 hours. In addition to this, APS today provides a wide assortment for the cold chain.
Aircontainer Package System is a private limited company. The company headquarters is located in Åkersberga, 30 km north of Stockholm, Sweden.
