Thermo King, a leader in sustainable transport temperature control solutions, recently celebrated 50 years of innovation and manufacturing excellence at its Arecibo, Puerto Rico facility. Staying true to its uplifting culture, the company marked the milestone with a $10,000 donation to The Food Bank of Puerto Rico.
Since opening in 1974, Thermo King’s Arecibo facility has played an instrumental role in delivering industry-leading technology to its customers, manufacturing more than 1 million trailer units used to safely transport fresh food and medicine across North America. The operation has become synonymous with resiliency as the Arecibo team has helped advance the refrigerated transport industry and their community despite major challenges throughout the years.
Commenting on the spirit behind their success, Adam Wittwer, President, Thermo King Americas, said, “Our people are the reason behind Thermo King Arecibo’s long success. They never quit, and they are devoted to taking care of our customers and their community, no matter the obstacle. Their expertise, dedication, and creative actions are a positive force of momentum. This team has helped move the industry — and the world — forward with advanced technologies and an inspirational, passionate spirit.”
Community outreach is core to the culture at Thermo King Arecibo. The $10,000 donation to the Food Bank of Puerto Rico was made possible by Thermo King’s ‘We Move Food’ program, launched in 2018.
