va-Q-tec

Delivering responsibly to Bakery Stores: A Prime Example The German bakery Bäckerei Peter Schmitt GmbH has been relying on the innovative solution va-Q-tray for years. Every day, 50 branches are supplied with, among other things, frozen dough pieces without the need for refrigerated vehicles. The vacuum-insulated solution keeps the temperature inside the boxes constant for at least 3 hours, ensuring that the legally required cold chain is maintained even at extreme ambient temperatures. Almost 1,000 va-Q-trays enable resource-saving and future-oriented delivery. Highlights: ❄️ Enabling the cold chain for frozen dough pieces for over 3 hours 🚚 Delivery of three different temperature ranges in one vehicle 🌍 Efficient and resource-saving route planning for the bakery and its suppliers 🔄 Easy integration into existing processes due to compatibility with standard totes 🍓 Avoidance of packaging waste when procuring ingredients such as strawberries Find out more about the success story: https://lnkd.in/g4B965bH #SustainableDelivery #ColdChain #FrozenGoods #PackagingWasteReduction #FoodLogistics

Vacuum Insulation: Award-Winning Technology At the Bavarian Energy Research and Innovation Day, Tobias Gotthardt, State Secretary in the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development, and Energy, honored va-Q-tec as one of the winners of the ideas competition "Innovations in Thermal Energy Technology". The submitted project aims to significantly improve energy efficiency in buildings. The innovative vacuum insulation can save large amounts of energy while also significantly improving fire protection. This technology therefore makes a double contribution to sustainability: saving energy and increasing safety. Founder and CEO Dr. Joachim Kuhn aptly states: "For over 20 years, va-Q-tec has been developing and producing highly insulating vacuum insulation, which has since saved countless gigawatt hours of energy. In addition to energy savings, fire protection is also a critical consideration in building insulation." "This award confirms our ongoing efforts and serves as an incentive to continue developing innovative and sustainable solutions. We sincerely thank the jury and the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development, and Energy for this recognition," adds Tobias Bock.

The Bavarian Minister-President Dr. Markus Söder visits va-Q-tec During his visit to the headquarters, Minister-President Dr. Markus Söder expressed great interest in the innovative vacuum technology. He noted that thermal insulation, energy saving, and unbroken cold chains require many innovations, which are coming from Würzburg. Founder and CEO Dr. Joachim Kuhn elaborated on how highly efficient insulation and thermal energy efficiency achieved through vacuum technology are effective ways to protect the climate and achieve CO2 neutrality. This technology is already being used in a wide range of applications, including buildings, household appliances, hot water storage tanks, and maintaining temperature-controlled supply chains in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

There are currently two major trends in the home delivery market: the trend towards the electrification of vehicles and the trend towards the use of smaller vehicles. Rising fuel costs and the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions as well as increasingly stricter legal regulations are also driving these trends in grocery logistics. Learn how electrified, smaller vehicles can be used and how seamless refrigeration of fresh and frozen products can be maintained on the way to the customer: https://lnkd.in/eF-N42au

Online trade is booming, and the demand for convenient home delivery services is growing. Retailers are therefore faced with the challenge of making their supply chains as efficient and sustainable as possible. The quality and freshness of the goods must not be compromised in the process. It is essential to rigorously maintain the temperature for chilled and frozen products. A central element for this purpose is the selection of the right technology. Find out which solution has proven to be particularly efficient for the different phases of the supply chain and how an uninterrupted cold chain can be enabled.
