With $35 billion in products wasted every year as a consequence of supply chain temperature problems, especially at airports where loading hazards exist, SkyCell solved the problem with its hybrid container, which can withstand temperatures ranging from -30°C to +70°C.

Praveg Patil, Deputy Head of EMEA Investments at M&G’s Catalyst team said,"We believe the innovative design of the SkyCell solution will play a key role in decarbonising the pharmaceutical supply chain and ensure zero waste. From an impact perspective, this investment covers two key thematic areas for Catalyst – climate solutions and healthcare and provides our investors with exposure to the attractive growth potential of high-end biological pharmaceutical products,".

Dr. Remo Gerber is also welcomed to SkyCell as its new CFO. Gerber was the MD for Western Europe at Gett and the former COO for Northern Europe at Groupon. He was formerly an advisor at McKinsey & Co.
