Ember Spins Out New Startup, Ember LifeSciences

Westlake Village-based "smart mug" maker Ember is spinning out a new company, focused on the life sciences supply chain, the company said today. According to Ember, the new company, Ember LifeSciences, is backed by an investment from Cardinal Health. The new venture is being led by Brian Bejarno, previously of Cardinal Health, who will serve as President and General Manager. Ember was previously known for its self heating travel mugs; the new venture is focused on providing self contained, self monitoring shipping systems for things like temperature sensitive pharmaceuticals. The company said its goal is to " deploy our technology to disrupt the healthcare distribution industry and improve the way we transport temperature-sensitive medicines and vaccines around the world."
