Plano-Based Candor Launches 'Food Chain' Tech That Allows Shipments To Stay Cold Up to 9 Days » Dallas Innovates

When companies ship frozen or refrigerated products, there’s one big goal: making sure they’re still frozen or refrigerated when they arrive at their destination. Now a Plano-based company has launched a whole new division to make sure this happens—even if a shipment is in process for more than a week.

Candor Expedite, a transportation company focused on time-sensitive shipments, announced its expansion today by launching an “innovation-driven” cold chain division called Candor Food Chain. Lunch Box Thermal Bag

Plano-Based Candor Launches 'Food Chain' Tech That Allows Shipments To Stay Cold Up to 9 Days » Dallas Innovates

The new division combines the company’s national shipping services with a “unique technology”: a fully reusable cold packaging solution that allows pallet and box-sized frozen and refrigerated shipments “to go by regular transport and stay frozen or refrigerated for up to nine days.”

Candor Food Chain says it’s the first U.S. company to exclusively introduce this technology through a partnership with Cool Chain, a European tech provider that’s been working with pharmaceutical companies for over a decade.

“I’ve witnessed the challenges shippers face in the frozen and refrigerated market. The excessive expenditure, along with issues like damaged products and delayed deliveries, is alarming,” Nicole Glenn, founder and CEO of Candor Expedite, said in a statement. “We’re excited to bring this new, unique technology to the food industry—reducing costs, eliminating claims, and offering real-time temperature and location monitoring.”

Glenn founded Candor Expedite in 2017. The company also has offices offices in Joliet, Illinois, and Kansas City, Kansas.

By consolidating deliveries of perishable and dry goods in one truck that supports three different temperatures—frozen, refrigerated, and ambient—Candor Food Chain says that food manufacturers, distributors, and retailers “can eliminate the costs of multiple deliveries across the United States.”

Per the company, the solution features:

“Our customers feel like heroes because they now have a way to cut out a large amount of wasted money, energy, and packaging while feeling good about meeting environmental goals,” Tyler Wiard, director of business development of Candor Expedite and Food Chain, said in a statement, adding that “We’re a proud, woman-owned business which shippers appreciate as they strive to meet Diversity, Equity and Inclusion goals.”
