Polar Leasing Company, Inc. announces its WL820 Temperature-Controlled Cold Room, the industry’s only validated walk-in refrigerated and freezer unit, has been selected as a 2022 Pharma Manufacturing Innovation Award winner.

Pharma Manufacturing, a leading publication in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries, recognized the WL820 walk-in refrigerated unit for its cutting-edge smart technology and efficiency. According to Pharma Manufacturing, "The WL820 temperature-controlled cold room is the only validated leased cold storage solution available to accommodate the stringent temperature control requirements for the pharma industry.”

Polar Leasing President Bart Tippmann says, “While we are not in the business for awards and accolades, we are honored to receive this acknowledgment which serves as a testament to the critical role the WL820 plays in safeguarding life-saving medicines and immunizations.” He adds, “Pharmaceutical products such as life sciences pharmaceuticals, biomedical technologies, life systems technologies, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, food processing, environmental and biomedical devices all demand validated controlled environments in accordance with the international Good Distribution Practices, and our dedicate Polar Leasing team works diligently to exceed these expectations.”

The WL820 Temperature-Controlled Cold Room is a ground-resting refrigeration or freezer unit designed and engineered specifically for the pharmaceutical industry. These units are constructed of one piece of fiberglass, making them immune to external temperatures. Inside, the units deliver consistent temperatures between 46º F to -22º F.

Polar Leasing provides the largest North American fleet of electric, ground-resting outdoor walk-in freezer and refrigerator rentals, delivered pre-assembled and ready to operate with a simple electrical connection.
