Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, USA: Carrier Transicold commemorates 50 years of transport refrigeration this month.
Today, there are more than 1 million Carrier Transicold fridges installed, helping to preserve, protect and extend the global supply of food and pharmaceuticals over the ocean, road and rail.
“For half a century, Carrier Transicold has been a global leader in transport refrigeration supporting the safe transport of food, medicine and other perishables worldwide,” said David Appel, president, Carrier Transicold & Refrigeration Systems.
“Building on a strong legacy, Carrier Transicold is well positioned for the future with a broad portfolio of products and services that meet customer needs and address increasing transport refrigeration demand as the global population grows, ages and urbanizes.”
Carrier Transicold was created in 1970 when Carrier acquired Transicold Co and combined it with its Special Products Division, which pioneered ocean-going container refrigeration in 1968.
Carrier also had experience in truck refrigeration applications dating back to 1940. Today, Carrier Transicold supports a sustainable cold chain through container refrigeration, truck and trailer refrigeration, and an expansive parts and service network.
Nearly 80% of seaborne perishable cargo moves by refrigerated containers, and the majority of those containers are cooled by Carrier Transicold systems. In its history, Carrier Transicold has sold more than 1.3 million front-wall container fridges and developed innovations to improve cargo protection, environmental sustainability, performance and efficiency, including PrimeLine, NaturaLine and EverFresh.
The over-the-road and rail segment includes·the Vector HE 19, the Supra (for north America), and the ComfortPro cab heater and cooler.
