Swiss Airtainer secures pre-round A funding
Swiss Airtainer, a specialist for advanced active temperature-controlled air cargo containers, has secured a significant pre-round A investment from a consortium of private investors, which will accelerate the market expansion of its containers.
The company previously received multimillion-dollar startup grants from venture capital sources, which supported its initial development phase.
The container’s significantly lower weight reduces CO2 emissions by 45%, representing a saving of 4 t of CO2 on long-haul flights, such as a round-trip between Zurich and San Francisco. It boasts a cutting-edge, Iata air cargo innovation award-winning design with full redundancy in all mission-critical components that incorporates solar panels and six fully redundant high-energy lightweight batteries.
