Eutecma, a German-based developer of sustainable, modular, and reusable temperature controlled packaging solutions for pharmaceutical cold chain shipments, today announced the appointment of Kevin Grogan as Chief Executive Officer to lead the Company’s global operations and expansion.
Mr. Grogan has nearly thirty years of industry expertise in pharmaceutical, healthcare and foodservice packaging solutions across North America, Asia and Europe, most recently as President of RLG Healthcare, part of Resource Label Group. Mr. Grogan has held key leadership positions at MedLit Solutions, Liquibox, DS Smith Plastics, Pactiv Evergreen and ThermoSafe.
“I am thrilled to join Eutecma at such a pivotal moment for the healthcare industry – so many life-saving and life-sustaining therapies are reaching the market and engineered insulated packaging solutions play a critical part in their success,” said Mr. Grogan. “I look forward to leveraging my experience to ensure that Eutecma’s solutions help this industry continue to thrive and meet the needs of our pharmaceutical and biotech partners while contributing to a more sustainable future.”
In June, Eutecma announced a strategic partnership with Great Point Partners (“GPP”), a Greenwich-based private investment firm focused exclusively on the health care industry. The firm has had a number of successes in the pharmaceutical packaging industry, including GPP’s prior investment in Softbox Systems, a UK-based global provider of passive temperature-controlled packaging solutions.
“We are excited to bring Mr. Grogan on board as Eutecma’s CEO,” said Eddie Hjerpe, Principal at GPP. “His expertise will be instrumental in strengthening the Company’s global market leadership and accelerating growth in this next phase.”
Since its founding in 2008, Eutecma has been committed to producing sustainable, passive cooling systems that make transport and logistics more efficient. Eutecma is a leader in the packaging industry, being a top choice among pharmaceutical, medical and laboratory diagnostics businesses. Eutecma’s “retecma” technology has created a unique, patented solution to enabling packaging materials to thrive in the circular economy. The process ensures materials remain in circulation for as long as possible while shrinking carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and providing real-time CO2 reduction data to clients.
“We’re confident that with Mr. Grogan at the helm, Eutecma will continue to pioneer breakthrough solutions that meet the challenges of pharmaceutical logistics while setting new benchmarks for environmental responsibility,” said Eutecma Co-Founders, Markus Baumgärtner and Florian Zeilfelder.
