Global Cold Chain Foundation opens its first institute in Brazil

Fundación Global Cold Chain abre su primer instituto en Brasil

Brazil. The Global Cold Chain Foundation (GCCF) launched the first Cold Chain Institute in Brazil. The inaugural class, composed of 31 students from 7 different companies in the Cold Chain sector, began its activities from August 13 to 15.

This initiative marks the launch of the Brazilian version of the Cold Chain Institute, which will celebrate 60 years of history in 2025 in the United States. The program, already consolidated in countries such as Mexico, where it has been operating for 11 years, and Australia, with 3 years of activity, is expanding its reach to Brazil and Europe in 2024.

With an innovative and proven format, the Cold Chain Institute is a three-day course spread over three years. The final certification is awarded only at the end of this cycle, during which students follow a structured curriculum each year. The instructors are highly qualified professionals, including executives from GCCA Brazil partner companies and specialized consultants.

The GCCF is the Global Cold Chain Alliance's not-for-profit partner in international education, research and development. The main objective of the GCCA is to represent and provide events and services to food logistics companies, bringing food from farms to families' tables safely.

The opening session was led by Rodrigo Vassimon, member of the GCCF Council in Brazil and CEO of SuperFrio Refrigerated Logistics. In his speech, he highlighted the work of the foundation and encouraged participants to make the most of this unique opportunity for learning and sharing experiences.

The program covers a wide range of topics, from storage operations and refrigerated transportation to corporate communication and emergency planning.

The course is aimed at professionals who are starting out or seeking specialization in the Cold Chain, both in operational and other areas, including analysts, coordinators, supervisors and managers.

New classes will be formed annually. Those who were unable to participate this year, should stay tuned for the next class that will begin in August of next year, while the current class will continue with the second year of the curriculum.
