Gelpax Relocates Headquarters and Manufacturing to Grapevine, Texas

Gelpax, a family-owned manufacturer of custom hot and cold gel packs and cold chain shipping supplies, has relocated its headquarters and manufacturing operations to Grapevine, Texas. The move, which involved opening a 5,000+ square foot facility near Dallas, aims to better serve American customers with US-based manufacturing.

Founded in 2004 by Stu Scott and Carole Scott, the company has grown from a kitchen operation in London, Ontario, to a trusted supplier of reusable hot and cold gel packs, shipping gel packs, foam coolers, and insulated shipping boxes and liners. Today, Gelpax is FDA registered and works with more than 5,000 clinics, known for its reusable gel packs that can be used over 100 times. The company's gel packs are designed to be durable and reusable, offering a cost-effective solution for temperature-sensitive applications.

Aston Scott, the General Manager, and Curtis Scott, the company's other son, now work alongside their parents in the business, which remains family-run. The decision to move to Grapevine was driven by the need to reduce lead times, lower supply costs, and avoid tariffs on products crossing the Canada, US border. The move also aims to take advantage of the deep pool of local manufacturing talent and the rapid growth of the Dallas, Fort Worth region.

The company cited the lower cost of living and doing business, as well as a better quality of life and climate, as additional factors in choosing Grapevine. The concentration of manufacturers and suppliers in North Texas provides Gelpax with more room to grow.

With production now in Texas, Gelpax offers custom gel packs with a lead time of 10 business days. The company supplies businesses that ship temperature-sensitive products with shipping gel packs, foam coolers, and insulated shipping boxes. Gelpax is a family-owned manufacturer of custom hot and cold gel packs and cold chain shipping supplies, headquartered in Grapevine, Texas.

The move to Grapevine is expected to enhance Gelpax's ability to meet the growing demand for temperature-controlled shipping solutions. The company's commitment to innovation and quality remains unchanged, and the new facility will allow for increased production and faster custom order fulfillment. Gelpax's FDA registration and trusted status among more than 5,000 clinics underscore its reliability and expertise in the industry.

In summary, Gelpax's relocation to Grapevine, Texas, marks a significant step in the company's growth and its ability to better serve its American customer base. The move is expected to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance the company's competitive edge in the market.
