When planning cold storage capacity, many pharmaceutical companies are faced with a critical decision without a clear way to benchmark or compare the options.

Should you choose hundred of traditional upright freezers or a modular large-scale solution?
How will the decision impact your operational flexibility, energy use and long-term costs?

Too often, the true differences between cold storage setups are underestimated. And that can lead to unnecessary complexity, higher running costs and limited scalability down the road.

That is exactly why we have developed this guide.

It is designed to give you a much stronger data-driven perspective on your options.

What You Will Get

This guide is for pharma professionals who are either expanding their cold storage capacity or reassessing what they already have.

It gives you a clear, side-by-side comparison of key operational factors helping you make informed decisions aligned with your future goals and available resources.

Here is what you will be able to assess:

✅ Which cold storage solution fits your future growth strategy best

✅ How energy consumption, CO₂ emissions and space requirements vary between setups

✅ Why built-in redundancy and modular designs are critical for uptime and operational flexibility

✅ What total cost of ownership really looks like across different solutions

Whether you are planning for a new facility or optimizing an existing one, this guide gives you the clarity to avoid costly missteps and build a cold storage setup that supports your long-term success.
