The lab formalizes Nordic’s long-standing, hands-on approach—combining deep industry expertise with real-world operational insight—to design, refine, and scale cold chain packaging solutions built to keep pace with the rapidly evolving GLP-1 market.

The lab is built to scale as demand rises. Backed by decades of experience supporting the largest specialty and e-commerce pharmacies, Nordic helps customers move from early development and pilot programs to high-volume production and shipping through product development, pack-out design, and product testing. Nordic scales alongside its customers, with the operational depth to support growth at every stage without sacrificing consistency, compliance, or performance.

“As the GLP-1 landscape continues to evolve at unprecedented speed, our customers need partners who can move just as fast,” said Keith Baechle, Chief Commercial Officer, Nordic Cold Chain Solutions. “This lab is an extension of our customer-first mindset—bringing our engineering expertise, industry knowledge, and hands-on experience together to help customers adapt quickly and scale confidently.”

The GLP-1 & Small-Format Packaging Innovation Lab brings customers into the design process early, working side by side to develop cold-chain packaging built for real-world parcel shipping and high-velocity fulfillment. Focused on mailers and compact shippers, the lab helps standardize packouts, improve consistency, and shorten the path from concept to scalable production, while reflecting the quality, documentation, and process discipline expected in regulated healthcare environments, including URAC- and AIChE-aligned operations.
