A vital link in COVID-19 vaccine distribution
Western Rubbers recently received an inquiry from a renown global chain responsible for the transportation and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines.
Customer requirement:

Product Application
To seal the lids of cold storage boxes (-50 °C to -80 °C) that will be used for the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines across the globe.
