A unit of Ingersoll Rand Company Limited, was founded in 1938 and manufactures transport temperature control systems for a variety of mobile applications, including trailers, truck bodies, buses, shipboard containers and railway cars.

An engine, a compressor, a condenser. What if you hooked them up to cool the inside of a trailer instead of the inside of a refrigerator? During the hot Minneapolis summer of 1938, Frederick M. Jones created that first Thermo King unit to get freshly-killed chickens to market without spoilage.

His invention worked so well that it spawned entire industries: frozen food, fast food, container shipping. Millions, who had never eaten anything grown beyond a 50-mile radius, now enjoyed the food of the world. Millions more, who had known only marginal, now ate healthy and fresh. It was a modest invention, but it transformed the expectations of the world. Never again would people be content with mere subsistence. Food became pleasure. The world we now live in is one Thermo King made possible.

It's a world of ever-increasing food variety, food safety, food convenience, and food profitability. A world of ever-increasing comfort for travelers. And it rests firmly on the foundation of problem-solving through technological innovation that we began with that first trailer mechanical refrigeration unit in 1938.
