Mannheim, Germany – September 28, 2026 – eutecma (or “the Company”), a German-based developer of sustainable, modular, and reusable temperature controlled packaging solutions for pharmaceutical cold chain shipments, today announced that it has acquired Tempaid, a North American temperature-controlled packaging company serving pharmaceutical, life sciences and healthcare organizations with validated thermal packaging solutions. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Since its founding in 2008, eutecma has been committed to producing passive cooling systems that make pharmaceutical supply chain and 3PL more sustainable and efficient. The Company has advanced cold chain innovation with its patented ICECATCH® cooling systems, modular PROTECT shipping systems, and high-performance Thermal Covers, rising to become a leader in the industry. Tempaid compliments this with a portfolio of market-leading last-mile pharmaceutical packaging expertise, offering SpeedyPac mailers, SteadyPac thermal shippers, gel packs and PCM mats.
The leaders of eutecma and Tempaid are product designers and inventors who together hold multiple patents in thermal packaging. The combined company will offer a complete range of reusable and single-use solutions—from individual mailers to bulk pallet shippers—from a single reliable source. Pharmaceutical, diagnostic, life science and biotech customers will continue to enjoy the benefits of the full product and service portfolio that both brands have become known for.
Kevin Grogan, Chief Executive Officer of eutecma, who will lead the combined company, said, “I am very excited about this acquisition. eutecma and Tempaid are uniquely suited to address the demanding needs of the cold chain marketplace. We are committed to preserving the passionate, customer-focused culture of both companies while accelerating the investments in innovation and new product development thanks to the support of our strategic partner, Great Point Partners.”
“Tempaid was founded to solve the toughest problems in the cold chain through innovation,” said Ryan Sanders, Founder of Tempaid. “Our growth meant expanding geographically, driving efficiencies, and building a comprehensive product line covering the whole cold chain, so we found the right partners. With eutecma, and the backing of Great Point Partners, we found a partner whose products begin where ours end, both of us listening to customers and solving their problems. For our customers, the people, the products and the standards they rely on do not change. What changes is how much more we can now do for them.”
Eddie Hjerpe, Principal at Great Point Partners, said, “Temperature-sensitive medicines now travel further, more often and in smaller quantities than at any point in the industry’s history, from bulk pallets leaving a manufacturer to a single dose arriving at a patient’s door. Very few packaging companies were built to protect that entire journey. eutecma and Tempaid will operate as one business under one leadership team to help customers solve for this challenge. We are looking forward to further supporting eutecma and Tempaid as they continue to scale their platform and embark on this next chapter of growth.”
