TEDSBOX

Alaska Journal of Commerce: Alaskan shippers will have a new way to keep goods fresh with a container called the TEDSBOX that is being manufactured in Anchorage by an Alaskan based company.
Designed and built at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport by Tednologies, Inc. the TEDSBOX container’s trademarked name stands for Tracking, Environmental, and Deviation System.
The developer, Don Harman, president and CEO of Tednologies, Inc. spent two years and $400,000 designing, and building the container that he hopes will save money by offering the cool/hot container that will cut down on spoilage while perishables are being shipped.
Harman’s idea was to provide a better container for shipping foods, flowers, fish and pharmaceuticals. The company slogan covers its uses “from boat to throat and from farm to fork.”
“We shipped perishables like eggs, yogurt and produce over to Emmonak, and on the return trip we brought back a load of king salmon shipped by KwikPak,” Harman added. The test shipment used dry ice for cooling and performed well, as expected according to previous tests, said Harman.
