“Looking forward to 2023, we will continue to innovate, solving the real customer need, creating increased choice and a more sustainable and resilient supply chain, in collaboration with our customers and suppliers.”

As 2022 draws to a close, I would like to send out a genuine “thank you” to all our customers, associates, and suppliers around the world for working with us. Undoubtedly the impacts of Covid-19 and the Ukraine War have continued to test the way we do business. However, despite this, our Topa Thermal team has worked incredibly hard and achieved amazing results. Thank you for all you do.

During 2022 we saw exciting new achievements: The flagship °Connex GEO thermal packaging line was adopted in major accounts within a year of its launch. We also were a finalist in the Sustainability Supply Chain Awards 2022 (BSMA) with the new °Connex OVERWRAP. It’s exciting to see customers already benefitting from lower freight costs and lower CO2 emissions as they use this thermal shipper for their pharma distribution. In addition, our sales and customer service teams continued to expand, and we got to know ‘our innovators’. Do you remember whose favourite innovator is Freddie Mercury? Or Steve Jobs?

Looking forward to 2023, we will continue to innovate, solving the real customer need and creating increased choice and a more sustainable and resilient supply chain, in collaboration with our customers and suppliers. The °Connex GEO pre-qualified range will grow from 250 to +300 options, using advanced insulation materials. We will also be bringing to market the most environmentally conscious, significant innovations to date, that will mean even greater savings for our customers.

As a climate neutral company, we therefore face 2023 with positivity and confidence, proud to be playing our part driving towards an ever-greener future.

With my very best wishes of the season and a happy, healthy and successful New Year.

Hein Stevens, CEO Topa Thermal
