Peli BioThermal, the global name in temperature controlled packaging, announces it has won the Queen's Award for Enterprise: International Trade 2018. The company is celebrating its second consecutive Queen’s Award win, adding the accolade to last year’s award for innovation for its Chronos™ Advance.
