Phononic Announces Exclusive Cold Chain Licensing Agreement with Peltier, Inc

Phononic, the global leader in solid state cooling  technology, has entered into a strategic exclusive cold chain licensing agreement with Peltier Technology, Inc. Phononic’s Active Cooling Solutions (ACSTM) platform has become mission critical  through the cold chain from fulfillment centers to grocery shelves to last mile delivery.

Peltier Technology, Inc is founded by Hanson Li – an experienced entrepreneur and technology investor  – with the mission to reimagine the world’s approach to using cold. Peltier has built an  experienced team of industry executives, global supply chain and 3PL partners, and a world class  engineering team to strengthen the cold chain with smart modular solutions.  

Customers can expect refrigeration and IoT software solutions from Peltier that patch up leaks in  the cold chain; an astounding 20% of food and drugs, and up to 50% of vaccines, are wasted  despite the tens of billions of dollars the world invests each year in the cold chain. Peltier solutions  bring refrigeration flexibility that can be easily integrated in operations that demand temperature  integrity. From unlocking new shelves for chilled or frozen goods in the grocery aisle to enabling  multi-temp automated warehouse solutions, Peltier delivers sustainable and purposeful  refrigeration to an industry frozen in time. 

“Peltier is excited to license and commercialize Phononic’s next generation of solid state cooling  technology,” said Hanson Li, Peltier CEO and Founder. “I’m excited to combine Peltier’s focus on  solving temperature challenges with Phononic’s disruptive cooling platform. With an established  ACSTM platform, supply chain, and customers, Peltier will continue to deliver timely solutions for our  customers’ cooling challenges.”  

“We’re excited to partner with Hanson and his team at Peltier” said Tony Atti, Co-Founder and  CEO of Phononic. “We developed the ACSTM platform as a solution to the needs of e-commerce,  cold chain, retail/grocery and consumer demand for innovating cooling. Licensing provides us  the flexibility to leverage Peltier’s cold chain focus to support the market while we enable the  future of AI through our datacenter platform.” 

Phononic’s ACSTM platform includes a unique combination of merchandising refrigerators and  freezers, portable totes, integrated docking stations and IoT connectivity, last mile, and shipping  and logistics design concepts. This platform has already realized value ensuring protection of  temperature-sensitive drugs and vaccines; delivering frozen/refrigerated perishable items at the  point-of-sale; and enabled retailers to scale e-commerce online purchasing.
