Risk awareness

Risks of non-compliant chemical transports

A single transport error can have far-reaching consequences – from material loss to regulatory sanctions.

Contamination

Temperature-sensitive chemicals can change their properties or become unusable when handled incorrectly.

Liability risk

Non-compliant transports raise difficult liability questions. Who bears the loss if a batch is compromised?

Production downtime

If critical reagents or APIs arrive late or damaged, production grinds to a halt.

Regulatory consequences

Strict requirements apply, especially for APIs used in pharmaceutical production. Documentation gaps are not acceptable.

Our chemical logistics services

From API transports to dry ice shipments – specialised logistics solutions for the entire chemical value chain.

API transport (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients)

Active substances and pharmaceutical starting materials require strict temperature control and GDP-compliant processes. We transport APIs safely and with full documentation.

Specialty chemicals & reagents

Temperature-sensitive chemicals for research, production and analytics – in validated packaging and with seamless temperature records.

Dangerous goods (ADR from mid-2026)

From mid-2026 we will offer ADR-certified dangerous goods transports. Today we already transport non-classified, temperature-critical chemicals safely.

Dry ice shipments

For extremely temperature-sensitive substances we offer dry ice transports at -60 to -80 °C. Specialty packaging with validated hold times.

Validated systems

Packaging & safety

For the safe transport of temperature-critical chemicals we rely on proven packaging systems and validated processes. Every packaging configuration is tailored to the specific requirements of your substance.

va-Q-tec / Intelsius thermoboxes
Validated passive packaging with PCM packs holding temperature for up to 120 hours.
Dry ice shipments
Specialty packaging for transports at -60 to -80 °C. Validated hold times and refill concepts.
Tive cloud sensors
GPS and temperature data every 5 minutes. Automatic alerts on deviations.
Calibrated vehicles
Regularly calibrated temperature recording in every transport vehicle.

How your chemical transport runs

Frequently asked questions on chemical transports

Which temperature ranges do you cover for chemical transports?

We transport temperature-critical chemicals in four validated ranges: +15 to +25 °C (room temperature), +2 to +8 °C (refrigerated), -15 to -25 °C (frozen) and -60 to -80 °C (dry ice). Each range is secured with calibrated sensors and passive thermoboxes.

Are your transports ADR-certified?

ADR certification will be completed from mid-2026. Today we already transport non-classified, temperature-critical chemicals to the highest safety standards. Talk to us if you are planning ADR-regulated shipments – we will advise you on your options.

How does temperature monitoring work during transport?

We rely on Tive cloud sensors with GPS and temperature data every 5 minutes. You get a personal tracking link and are automatically notified of any deviation. After delivery we provide a full temperature record as a PDF.

Can you transport APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients)?

Yes, transporting pharmaceutical active ingredients is one of our core competencies. We work GDP-aligned, document seamlessly and use validated packaging solutions. Our processes are tailored to the specific demands of pharmaceutical chemistry.

Which packaging solutions do you use?

We use validated passive packaging from va-Q-tec and Intelsius with PCM packs holding temperature for up to 120 hours. For dry ice shipments, specialty packaging with validated hold times and refill concepts is available.

How does a dry ice shipment work?

For dry ice shipments your substances are transported in special insulated containers with dry ice at -60 to -80 °C. We calculate the required amount of dry ice based on transport duration and outside temperature. Refill stops on long-haul routes are possible.

Which countries can you transport chemicals to?

We cover all of Europe by road, with a focus on the DACH region, France, Benelux and Eastern Europe. Standard routes run via Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Vienna and Budapest. For overseas destinations we organise temperature-controlled air freight.

What documentation will I receive after the transport?

You receive a complete transport dossier: seamless temperature record at 5-minute intervals, GPS route history, handover protocols and, on request, additional quality-relevant evidence for your internal documentation and audits.
