LoJack SCI and Modality Solutions have agreed to develop a suite of unique technology and service solutions for cold chain and related environmentally sensitive shipment applications.  "We understand that this market has requirements which are much more stringent than general cargo transport, and our partnership with Modality Solutions brings a quantum leap in our ability to bring solutions that are comprehensive and address all risk factors in this specialized market.  The integration of the engineering, environment simulation and quality management systems expertise of Modality Solutions, coupled with LoJack SCI's complete set of security and environmental monitoring capabilities, is aimed at customers needing a turnkey approach to these challenges," stated Ted Wlazlowski, president and CEO, LoJack SCI.

We will provide continuous updates on status and provide chain of custody information to meet all current cGDP regulatory requirements which will serve as the basis for continuous improvement in validated controlled environment logistics networks," said Gary Hutchinson, president of Modality Solutions.
