Aurora Capital Partners has made its seventh investment with the acquirement of Cold Chain Technologies (CCT) in an undisclosed deal.
Established in 1967, Cold Chain Technologies offers temperature-sensitive packaging solutions for customers across the life sciences industries, including commercial manufacturing, pharmaceutical distribution, clinical trials, speciality pharmacy deliveries and direct-to-patient shipments.
The thermal packaging solutions company is headquartered in Franklin, Massachusetts, US. It is being operated under the leadership of its CEO Larry Gordon and the management team.
Gordon said: “We built CCT on a ‘customer first’ philosophy and we have continued to expand our offerings as our clients’ needs have evolved.
“While our ongoing success has enabled us to self-fund our extensive growth over the past 21 years, it became clear that finding the right partner would allow us to accelerate our growth plans.
“We couldn’t have found a better partner than Aurora to help us continue to exceed our customers’ expectations as we expand globally, develop exciting new products and grow our reusable solutions offering.”
