PREVIEW TCS&D 2015
TCS&D SHOW TO SERVE UP dedicated cold chain event
The TCS&D Show is the only UK trade event dedicated to the storage and distribution of temperature-controlled products. It will be held in Peterborough 16-17 September 2015
O
ffice for National Statistics estimates for January-October 2014 showed the
quantity of food and drink bought in the UK increased by more than 3% year-on- year, continuing a pattern of growth stretching back more than a decade. Approximately 41p of every £1 spent in the retail industry in October 2014 was in food stores – with a large share of these goods moved through the cold chain. “As the country’s demand for food rises
companies have faced decisions about whether to increase their fleets and warehousing space accordingly or to balance this growth by getting smarter at asset specification and utilisation," explains exhibition director Rob Fisher. “Arguably, it’s the latter which is often the most cost-effective. That makes events like the TCS&D Show invaluable as a place to gather and see the latest innovations under one roof.” The UK food and drink manufacturing sector generated approximately £187bn of sales and £100bn of gross value added (GVA) in 2012 with supply chain costs including temperature controlled services being roughly 9% of the total price. As well as transporting fresh produce from ‘farm to fork’ reefer fleets move temperature- sensitive goods including pharmaceuticals and healthcare products.
GOOD DISTRIBUTION PRACTICE Fisher says this year’s event will be the first since the European Commission’s publication of a new chapter on transportation quality and integrity within its guidelines on Good Distribution Practice of medicinal products for human use. “The document requires transport
companies in the pharma sector to demonstrate that medicines have not been exposed to conditions which may compromise quality and integrity,” continues Fisher. “For many fleets this means carrying out detailed assessments of their cold chain integrity and specifying new equipment accordingly. We’re expecting it to be a major talking point at the show.” Held in conjunction with the Food Storage & Distribution Federation (FSDF) and the British Frozen Food Federation (BFFF), the TCS&D show is the only UK

the fantastic developments that have been made and for those who don’t, a chance to learn about the vast benefits they can provide. These solutions are not only the ultimate in environmentally friendly transport refrigeration, they offer overall lifetime costs that can be as much as two thirds lower than air blow systems.” Also new to the show this year will be GAH Refrigeration.
tradeshow dedicated to the storage and distribution of temperature-controlled products. More than 70% of the available exhibition space has already been sold, highlighting high levels of confidence in the market from original equipment manufacturers, ancillary providers and service suppliers. Organisers urge firms interested in exhibiting to secure space quickly to avoid disappointment.
FIRST-TIME EXHIBITORS Among first-time exhibitors at this year’s show will be Viessmann Cold Technology UK, part of Viessmann Kältetechnik, the European market leader in bespoke, modular-build cold rooms. “We are delighted to be exhibiting at TCS&D and will be using the exhibition to showcase the very latest in modular cold rooms including our energy-efficient EVO- COOL refrigeration system and SilverProtec antimicrobial powder coating,” says UK director Steve Prior. “All of our refrigeration solutions are available for sale, rent or rent-to-buy and visitors are invited to join us on stand E2 for a drink and to discuss their cold storage needs.” New to the show is Eistechnik, Loughborough-based supplier of eutectic transport refrigeration. Unlike traditional refrigeration systems that can be highly polluting, noisy and unreliable, Eistechnik’s solutions make no emissions or noise, rarely break down and are more powerful than any previous eutectic system. “Our stand at TCS&D 2013 will feature our new generation of eutectic systems,” explains commercial manager Matthew Jackson. “For those who already know about eutectics it will be a chance to see

“Our presence at TCS&D 2013 forms part of our 20th anniversary celebrations and we’ll be exhibiting a range of our new products with key members of our team available to answer questions,” comments a company spokesperson. “Pharmaceuticals carriers and food producers should make a point of coming to see Flexi-temp, our innovative system that allows two insulated compartments to be heated or cooled simultaneously for the ultimate in flexibility. Also on show will be the SR400, a new 4kW system for panel vans; the J500 and EX700, cost-effective systems for box body vans; and the L200, a Lance unit with standby.”
TEMPERATURE RECORDING SOLUTIONS Returning to the show will be Euroscan, supplier of temperature recording solutions for refrigerated transport which will exhibit at the show with Peter Staines Refrigeration (PSR) which represents Euroscan in the UK. As well as promoting its considerable expertise in transport refrigeration for customers such as Waitrose, 3663, Brakes and Ferryspeed, PSR will present the full range of Euroscan products on stand C13. These offer many communications options from Bluetooth to iGPRS/GPS and the PSR stand will feature a live demonstration with real-time telematics data shown on the EuroWEB Internet site. “We’re really looking forward to this opportunity to demonstrate to the industry what PSR and Euroscan jointly offer in the form of a first-class service for temperature-controlled logistics,” says managing director Peter Staines. The TCS&D Show 2015 will be supported
by a comprehensive seminar programme, plus the annual TCS&D Awards Dinner.
