VIDEO: DuPont, SkyCell Form Alliance

DuPont Safety & Construction and SkyCell have announced a formal alliance to collaborate on technical and market development. The combined effort is aimed at maintaining the physical and clinical integrity of pharmaceuticals in transit.

“DuPont is a firm believer in the potential of strategic alliances like this one where each party can leverage its respective strength for powerful solutions,”said  Christian Marx, vice president and general manager of Tyvek® and Typar®. “There is a strong strategic fit between DuPont and SkyCell and we see this as an important step in complementing our Tyvek® Cargo Covers offering and expanding our market capability with high-performance solutions for an increasingly sophisticated pharmaceutical supply chain.”

Under the terms of the agreement DuPont will gain access to SkyCell’s remote temperature-management solutions and expertise and acquire marketing rights to the SkyCell portfolio of insulated shipping containers. The SkyCell containers will be marketed by DuPont alongside its Tyvek® products enabling the market-leader in cargo covers to provide an unrivalled breadth of high-tech temperature-management solutions to discerning customers. SkyCell, on the other hand, will be in a position to tap into the renowned technical resource of DuPont and will benefit from the DuPont global network especially in emerging markets and the Asia-Pacific region.
