“Our TempControl Center at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) represents United Cargo’s commitment to providing the best service possible to perishable and cool chain shippers and our commitment to remain a worldwide leader in the transport of pharmaceuticals and other temperature-controlled commodities,” said United Cargo President Jan Krems at a gala ribbon cutting ceremony on Wednesday, January 6.
     “We believe we have the best people in the cargo industry, so we’re proud to provide our team with the tools they need to deliver excellent service to our customers.”

Out Front Leading The Way

     Jose Rosado, United’s Senior Manager of Cargo Operations in Newark echoed those sentiments and was otherwise jubilant while talking to an invited crowd of service partners, shippers, and well-wishers touring the new ultra-modern facility:
     “United Cargo has several advantages in our Newark hub, including our extensive widebody network and our experienced Cargo Sales and Operations teams. But the cool chain business is very competitive in New York, and that’s one of the main reasons we are leading the way with this fully outfitted new TempControl facility at our critical New York/New Jersey hub.”

Customers Talked - We Listened

     “We canvassed our forwarder partners and their customers and listened to their ideas and recommendations while planning this new TempControl facility,” said Mary Tussing, United Cargo’s Manager of Specialty Sales.
     “United Cargo’s Newark TempControl Center includes the features and innovations most requested by United’s TempControl customers, including +15C to +25C controlled room temperature, the capacity to simultaneously house 48 RKN units, and electrical connectivity for all units,” Mary Tussing said.

More To Come

     “We have only just begun rolling out the enhancements we have planned for TempControl,” Jan Krems noted.
     “Our vision is to use this Newark facility as a blueprint for similar TempControl Centers in other United hubs—including Chicago O’Hare and San Francisco, among others,” he said.

Vienna TempControl

     Mr. Krems also revealed that Vienna is the latest city to join the worldwide TempControl network.
     “The addition of VIE brings the total of TempControl-certified cities worldwide to 56,” Jan Krems declared.
