DoKaSch Temperature Solutions is strengthening its foothold in Asia and has appointed Emily Tang as sales and business development manager in China.

The provider of temperature-controlled packaging solutions said the new position was created specifically to further strengthen the company’s global presence in one of the most important regions for the pharma and biotech industry.

Based in Guangdong in southern China, Emily will oversee the company’s operations in eastern China and Shanghai in particular, where most producers of pharmaceuticals, biotech materials, and active pharmaceutical ingredients are located.

Prior to DoKaSch TS, she worked at Catalent Solutions and cold chain logistics company World Courier.

“The APAC-Region and especially China is a strong growth market for pharmaceutical manufacturing. We are seeing a sharp increase in clinical trials, as multinational companies and local pharmaceutical producers have started to engage in more and more of these trials in multiple countries here,” said Tang.

“DoKaSch Temperature Solutions’ Opticooler will play an important role in supporting the rise of the Chinese and Asia-Pacific pharma industry by providing reliable cold chains for biologics, vaccines, and APIs.”

DoKaSch said the new post in China complements its ‘Asia strategy’ which saw the establishment of service stations in Beijing, Tokyo and the Indian city of Hyderabad.
