Samsung SDS is considering joining the cold chain business for storage and delivery of COVID-19 vaccines, which must be kept at a consistently cold temperature, as part of efforts to expand its business beyond group affiliates.
The IT services arm of Samsung Group said Wednesday it conducted a simulation recently on delivering vaccines in conjunction with Yongma Logis, a local medicine and medical supplies delivery company, and Korea Superfreeze that operates ultra-cold storage facilities.
