Why ColdChainSA?
—— Founded by Cold Chain Professionals
Generic business directories don’t understand cold chain. They mix refrigerated transport with standard freight, treat -18°C pharmaceutical logistics the same as ambient delivery, and can’t distinguish between last-mile couriers and long-haul freight operations. ColdChainSA is different—we’re built by operators who’ve driven many thousands of kilometers in refrigerated vehicles and understand that altitude affects compressor performance, that Johannesburg’s heat islands add 11°C to effective ambient temperature, and that floor insulation matters as much as roof insulation when pavement reaches 70°C.
Whether you need GDP-compliant pharmaceutical courier services in Gauteng, blast freezing capacity near Durban port, or TRU suppliers who understand altitude derating—you’ll find qualified operators with transparent capabilities, regional coverage, and actual compliance certifications. Not just business names in a database.
