We guarantee quality throughout the Cold Chain process
The only Brazilian company in the segment to be ISO 9001: 2015 certified, Grupo Polar specializes in the development of specific solutions that guarantee the thermal integrity of the product during transportation and storage. With almost 20 years of experience, our goal is to disseminate knowledge in order to improve logistics and processes throughout the Cold Chain in Brazil and worldwide.
We provide technology and innovation in Cold Chain
During the preparation process of a medicinal product, it is necessary to set the storage and preservation temperature so that its characteristics are maintained with quality and the therapeutic effects achieved effectively. Transport is undoubtedly the biggest challenge of the whole life of this product category, since the variables that make up cargo logistics – such as the ambient temperature and the tropicality of a country with dimensions such as Brazil – translate even more the efforts which must be applied to the file.
Aware of the needs and bottlenecks of this segment, Grupo Polar develops studies and continually invests in research and development (R & D) to provide intelligent and customized solutions that meet the needs of the pharmaceutical, logistics and laboratory industries in order to guarantee product integrity and the safety of the entire cold chain regardless of the temperature range.

TESTIMONIALS
Com muito orgulho, posso dizer que o Grupo Polar fez e faz toda diferença para o mercado farmacêutico de Cold Chain no Brasil, e agora na América Latina. Há 12 anos atrás, nosso Diretor Paulo Vitor, teve uma visão diferenciada e arrojada: contratar uma farmacêutica para estar a frente do Valida, Laboratório de Ensaios Térmicos, referência no segmento. “Se iremos fornecer estudos para a indústria farmacêutica, nada melhor do que termos um profissional da área”. E foi assim que cheguei por aqui!!!!
Com a ajuda e parceria de nossos clientes, construímos uma empresa focada em soluções para o transporte que exige temperatura controlada, aumentamos nossa linha de produtos e serviços e hoje atendemos quase 90% deste mercado.
Na missão de executar um trabalho pioneiro e de qualidade e levar conhecimento para os profissionais da área, me especializei e me uni aos “gurus” mundiais no tema. E o Grupo Polar nunca negou esforços para tornar este sonho uma realidade! Sou extremamente grata ao reconhecimento de meu trabalho e a tantas oportunidades que aqui recebi!
“A qualificação térmica de cadeia fria e um assunto complexo , extenso e muito atual.
Os estudos realizados pela Polar Técnica são muito bem executados e o trabalho feito com muita seriedade.
A qualificação realizada pela Polar na distribuidora Medcomerce tem sido um importante diferencial de qualidade na nossa prestação de serviço .
Sentimos seguros e confiantes na montagem das nossas caixas térmicas para a expedição de nossos produtos termolábeis e automaticamente garantimos aos nossos clientes produtos com estabilidade térmica em toda a cadeia de distribuição.
Aproveito para agradecer a TODA equipe da Polar que sempre nos atende de forma atenciosa e com muito embasamento técnico nos ajudando diariamente a melhorarmos nossos processos.”
"O Grupo Polar destaca-se pelo constante aperfeiçoamento do seu sistema de qualidade e pela eficiência e qualidade de seus produtos. Percebe-se que a empresa tem uma forte vocação para a inovação e criação de novos produtos, alinhados com as necessidades do mercado farmacêutico brasileiro, além de estrutura, instalações e equipe altamente motivada e competente. Por estas razões a Polar consolida-se como uma das grandes empresas do setor de embalagens e serviços para o transporte de produtos sensíveis à temperatura."
“Enviamos cercas de 100 caixas térmicas da Polar Técnica por mês para todo o Brasil e em dois anos de utilização houve apenas um evento adverso. O custo-benefício é outro ponto importante do produto, que consegue reduzir as despesas com o envio dos tecidos. Conseguimos, inclusive, economizar em gelo por conta da alta eficiência térmica da caixa. Além disso a agilidade e prestatividade no atendimento foi imprescindível para o fechamento da parceria, tanto que já existe um trabalho para o aprimoramento de embalagens da linha HEMO que sejam capazes de suprir as necessidades de transporte de córnea, por exemplo”
“O Grupo Polar é uma das maiores e mais conceituadas companhias do setor logístico farmacêutico. Assim que começamos a pensar em novas soluções para a cadeia fria da RaiaDrogasil, a primeira empresa que surgiu em nossas discussões foi a Polar Técnica. Conhecemos a qualidade dos serviços e dos produtos da empresa e, por isso, foi uma decisão natural”
"Essa qualificação é de suma importância para a nossa empresa, pois demonstra confiabilidade nos processos. Hoje compramos o KIT completo (Caixa XPS ou EPS + Elemento Refrigerante + Manta Térmica) que facilita muito o nosso processo de validação interno."
