Thermo King has partnered with Brightec, the European leader in air curtains for temperature-controlled trailers, box trucks and vans, for exclusive distribution of its BlueSeal air curtains to the United States and Canada.
Air curtains are designed to create an invisible climate barrier during door openings, which helps in maintaining temperature control and prevent the infiltration of dust, insects and outside air from reaching sensitive cargo, such as food or pharmaceuticals. Brightec distributes its BlueSeal products to over 33 countries worldwide to provide some of the largest names in temperature-controlled distribution with proven solutions for industry-leading cargo climate control.
As part of the collaboration, Thermo King will not only leverage its well-established North American presence and industry expertise to distribute these units to a new market, but also expand its product portfolio to offer new energy-efficient air curtain technology for effectively managing cargo temperature.
Commenting on the partnership, Hans Opdam, founder of Brightec and inventor of BlueSeal air curtains, said, “We are delighted to partner with Thermo King, which has shown tremendous support not only in distributing BlueSeal throughout the U.S. and Canada but promoting the product to their vast network of dealerships.”
Focusing on their perspective, Catherine Walsh, Aftermarket Product Manager, Thermo King, said, “The addition of BlueSeal air curtains to our product lineup seamlessly integrates with our existing transport refrigeration technology, offering Thermo King customers yet another energy-efficient cold chain solution to support their sustainability goals.”
