What Tempack does
Tempack, legally Tempack Packaging Solutions S.L., is a Barcelona-headquartered specialist in passive temperature-controlled packaging (TCP) founded in 1996 and operating today as part of the CSafe Global group (itself backed by Thomas H. Lee Partners and Frazier Healthcare Partners). The company designs, manufactures, and qualifies isothermal packaging solutions — including single-use and reusable parcel shippers, insulated containers, pallet shippers, vehicle-mounted modular temperature control units, cold packs, and life sciences packaging — that maintain chilled, fresh, and frozen product temperatures for up to 48 hours or longer without active refrigeration, using advanced passive insulation and phase-change materials validated in an ISO 9001-certified in-house laboratory conducting 500+ tests per year against ISTA, IATA, UN, WHO, and AFNOR standards.
Its product portfolio spans five categories (single-use packaging, reusable packaging, containers for delivery vehicles, life sciences packaging, and cold packs) and is engineered for two principal end markets: food retail, e-grocery, and last-mile logistics providers requiring reliable cold-chain integrity from fulfilment centre to doorstep, and pharmaceutical and biotech customers with strict temperature requirements for vaccines, biologics, and clinical trial materials. Notable deployments include support for Pfizer's global COVID-19 vaccine cold chain distribution via the Softbox group.
Tempack operates a direct enterprise B2B sales motion selling customised, quote-based hardware solutions under 30-day payment terms and EXW incoterms, supported by regional offices including a German hub in Bremen and leveraging CSafe Global's broader manufacturing and distribution infrastructure across Europe, the Americas, India, and Asia Pacific. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 (quality) and ISO 14001:2015 (environmental) certifications, is a registered TEMPACK® trademark holder, and positions itself as a specialised passive packaging complement to CSafe's active air cargo solutions within an end-to-end cold-chain platform.

- Sofrigam: Sofrigam designs and manufactures passive and active temperature-controlled packaging solutions for pharma and food cold chains. It is directly comparable to Tempack in insulated parcel shippers, pallet shippers, and qualification services, particularly in European and French-speaking markets.
- Softbox Systems (CSafe Passive TCP): Softbox is Tempack's sister brand inside CSafe Global's Passive TCP Division. Although commonly co-marketed under the CSafe umbrella, the two brands overlap in passive parcel shippers for pharma and food and effectively compete in market for similar end-customers.
- TP3 Global: TP3 Global, acquired by Softbox/CSafe, manufactures the SilverSkin thermal protective covers used in pharma air cargo. It overlaps with Tempack's life sciences packaging and provides comparable passive temperature solutions for global pharma distribution.
Emerging players
