Hey there 👋

As 2023 draws to a close, we’re reflecting on a year marked by rigorous product development, expanding our reach, and building a stronger team. From strategic breakthroughs at our company retreat to sharing our journey on the MCJ Collective podcast and showcasing our Medstow Mini's prowess at JIFX, this past quarter has been rich with growth.

With an eye on the new year, we're ready to embrace fresh challenges and continue innovating!  Join us as we step into 2024 with renewed energy to push forward in our mission to redefine temperature-controlled logistics.

Warm regards,

Hannah Sieber, Cofounder and CEO

Behind the Scenes
Lighter, Mightier Medstow Mini

Our Medstow Mini has undergone a transformation! It's now sleeker, tipping the scales at just over 4 pounds - that’s a whopping 50% weight reduction. But don't be fooled by its lighter frame. This compact unit recently demonstrated its capabilities, sustaining a shipment from California to New York for more than 96 hours with ease. It's all about delivering peak performance with reduced shipping costs.

My Climate Journey Podcast

Our CEO recently joined Cody Simms of the MCJ Collective on the My Climate Journey podcast. In a dynamic discussion, they shed light on the cold chain's significant global emissions impact and explored Artyc’s innovative approach to environmentally-conscious, refrigerant-free thermal packaging. Key points included the importance of efficiency and traceability in the industry, and Artyc's commitment to partnerships and sustainable innovation. We extend our thanks to MCJ Collective for their support and to Cody Simms for a thought-provoking conversation.

Values and Visions @ Artyc's Winter Retreat

Artyc's latest retreat in Carmel Valley wasn't just about team building; it was a deep dive into the heart of our culture and a collective envisioning of our future. Centered around our three core values — Connect Authentically, Continually Evolve, and Realize Change — the team participated in workshops and unscripted moments of camaraderie that reinforced our commitment to a vibrant and balanced workplace culture.

Field Notes: The Medstow Mini's JIFX Journey

The Medstow Mini recently faced the rigors of the great outdoors at the JIFX program near Camp Roberts. This wasn't just any test – it was a real-life challenge under varying climatic conditions. The result? Our Medstow Mini emerged as a champion of adaptability and resilience, maintaining stable temperatures in fluctuating environments and showcasing its top-notch energy efficiency.

Navigating Scope 3: Insights from VERGE

Our CEO led a roundtable focused on the intricate balance between measuring and modeling Scope 3 emissions. Central to the discussion was the quest for enhanced precision and deeper insights in emissions tracking. Representatives from Cisco, Stanley Black & Decker, and IBM contributed their unique experiences and practical solutions to the challenge.

Festive Fowl

This Thanksgiving, Artyc took a moment to appreciate the massive logistics behind our festive feasts. With an astounding 46 million turkeys transported across the country, the demand for 'reefers' – refrigerated trucks essential to the cold chain – soared. Picture this: 29,000 truckloads of turkeys, enough to stretch from Boston to Baltimore! This logistical marvel underscores the critical role of the cold chain in ensuring food safety and quality.

Flu Season Focus

As the flu season looms, Artyc is keenly aware of the vital role of temperature-controlled logistics. With over 90% of vaccines, including the flu shot, requiring strict temperature maintenance between 2°C t 8°C (35°F - 46°F). Any deviation can lead to reduced efficacy or safety concerns. Artyc is at the forefront, developing packaging solutions that ensure consistent and precise temperature control with the aim to create a healthier community and safeguard the world during flu season.
