Unilode and MdG Group sign agreement

Unilode Aviation Solutions and MdG Group, a supplier of cold chain products and services for the food and pharmaceutical sectors, have signed a long term agreement.

The agreement is for the repair of La Couverture, a unique product developed and manufactured by MdG for the protection of temperature-sensitive products in the aviation supply chain.

La Couverture is a hybrid solution between a thermal cover and a temperature-controlled dolly that offers the ease of use of a cover and almost the same protection as a thermal dolly at a much lower cost and without CO2 emissions. The innovative material protects temperature-sensitive cargo on a lower deck pallet during the handling phase on the tarmac between a cargo warehouse and the apron; moreover, the product is fitted with a GPS device for location tracking.

Unilode will provide extensive services for La Couverture that includes inspection, repair, storage, transport, handling and reporting within Unilode’s global repair network, initially at 17 key airports across Europe, the Middle East, North America and Asia.
