Marco Tan

Production Lead · 10+ years in thermal-regulation manufacturing

Marco runs the production line at IceBear Care, with a focus on PCM cooling vest, heated apparel, and pet thermal product programs. He works with B2B brands, importers, and industrial buyers on OEM/ODM specs from first sample through carton-seal QC.

Areas of Expertise

Where Marco spends most of his time on the production floor and in spec reviews.

PCM Cooling Vest Programs

Pack geometry, melt-point selection (15°C / 18°C / 28°C), pouch fill tolerances, and end-use cooling-cycle targeting.

Heated Apparel Assembly

Carbon-fibre heating element placement, battery system integration, and FCC/CE certification documentation.

Phase-Change Material Sourcing

Salt-hydrate, paraffin, and bio-based PCM formulations — vetted with per-batch DSC data and seam-integrity testing.

Quality Control Loops

In-line QC, end-of-line inspection, and third-party AQL audits (Level II, 2.5 / 4.0) coordinated for buyer transparency.

Lead-Time Management

35–45 day OEM cycles, 60–80 day ODM cycles, and clear communication on tooling, sampling, and bulk milestones.

B2B Spec Engagement

Works directly with brand product managers and sourcing leads to lock spec sheets, sample approvals, and lot documentation.

About Marco

Marco joined IceBear Care after a decade in the broader thermal-regulation product industry, where he worked across cooling and heating product lines for industrial workwear, outdoor recreation, and pet-care brands. His focus is the bridge between buyer spec and factory output — making sure what gets quoted is what gets shipped.

On any given week, Marco is reviewing PCM pouch fill data, walking the assembly line, or sitting in on sample-approval calls with B2B partners across North America, Europe, and Australia. He believes the difference between a good factory and a great one is whether the process is disciplined enough to repeat year over year — not whether the marketing photos look polished.

If you're sourcing PCM cooling vests, heated apparel, or pet thermal products for the first time, Marco is the person on our side who will walk you through the spec.
