CUSTOMER DRIVEN INNOVATION

Thermo King began life when someone asked Joe Numero if he could help keep a cargo of chickens cool while on their way to market. He accepted the challenge, and with the engineering genius of Frederick M. Jones, the two launched Thermo King. We never forgot that innovation begins with the customer’s needs.

ADVANCED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

You depend on quality products to maximise profits and provide peace of mind. Our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped to deliver, with the latest and most advanced technologies and processes. Working closely with our engineering groups, we examine how technology affects critical product characteristics. Out in the real world, our systems and components must endure some of the harshest and most unpredictable environments. Comprehensive testing ensures they make the grade and meet our strict quality and reliability requirements. The result is improved performance throughout the life of our products, and so higher customer satisfaction.

THE BEST-TRAINED TECHNICIANS
