May 24, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Shanghai, China - Optimizing the supply chain has become a competitive necessity in virtually every industry and this strategy is particularly crucial to cold storage and distribution suppliers, who face many unique challenges.

Food, flowers, pharmaceuticals, chemicals – perishables are high-profile, potentially high-profit products. But reaping their rewards requires special attention and if managed right, the “cold chain” can make a company’s fortune.

The China Supply Chain Council's inaugural Cold Chain China Summit will take place on July 12 in Shanghai, China, and will provide an invaluable opportunity for delegates to discuss the challenges involved in the cold chain process and understand best practice for handling, transporting and storing temperature-sensitive products in China.
