CLIENT BACKGROUND

Campo Grande is an innovative U.S. meat companyfounded in 2021 with roots in Spanish food culture. They specialize insustainably raised Iberian pork and other traditional cuts sourced from family-runfarms that follow natural, ethical farming practices. Their goal is simple: tobring authentic Spanish flavors to American tables through responsible sourcingand careful handling.

Since launching, Campo Grande has grown rapidly,building a loyal following among chefs and home cooks who value quality andprovenance. Every shipment represents a promise that what leaves their facilityfrozen arrives that way, preserving the same quality customers expect from alocal butcher. To maintain that standard at scale, Campo Grande investedheavily in cold chain control, packaging, and logistics. When expanding theirnationwide delivery program, they needed a partner who could uphold their commitmentto quality with equal precision and reliability.‍

CLIENT REQUIREMENTS

Campo Grande ships over 250,000 frozenpackages annually across the United States, where every degree counts. Eachparcel must arrive below 31°F (even after four days in transit) to meetstrict food safety and quality standards. With rising freight times andseasonal heat fluctuations, the company needed a packaging system capable ofholding temperature far beyond conventional performance limits.

At the same time, the solution had to alignwith Campo Grande’s natural brand aesthetic and sustainability ethos, ensuringtechnical precision without compromising presentation or principle.

‍

‍UNIQUE PROJECT CHALLENGES

Campo Grande’sprevious supplier operated a single manufacturing site, which created serious risksaround supply continuity and the ability to handle demand spikes, as anydisruption could have stopped production.

At the same time, though shipments were intended to be delivered within a three-day window, Campo Grande needed its frozen products to remain below 31°F through the fourth day oftransit to ensure food safety and prevent loss from unexpected delivery delays.

Their dry iceshipping model required consistent long duration thermal performance that fewsuppliers could guarantee.

‍

THERMOGARD SOLUTION

Thermogard delivered a fully validated packaging system built around Papershield Ultra 1.5” insulation, validated through ThermalIQ testing to maintain sub-31°F stability for more than 72 hours. Campo Grande’sown lab confirmed the same results, with consistent fourth-day performance.

To ensure supplysecurity, Thermogard leveraged its multi-facility network, providing redundancyand uninterrupted capacity during demand spikes. The packaging’s natural,textured finish complemented Campo Grande’s brand aesthetic and sustainabilitytargets, turning an initial design concern into a value-added feature.

From initial project engagement to fullsupply rollout took just 3.5 weeks, achieved without any disruption toshipments. The result highlighted Thermogard’s efficient design and validationprocess, delivering verified performance and rapid implementation for theclient.

END RESULT‍

Dry ice maintained sub-freezing conditions for over 72hours, exceeding Campo Grande’s expectations. Their independent testingconfirmed Thermogard’s ThermalIQ validation, strengthening trust in bothprocess and performance.

From testing to full deployment took just 3.5 weeks, withzero disruption to operations or customer deliveries.
