Global climate-controlled transport conglomerate, Trane Technologies, has expanded its EMEA operations with the acquisition of UK-based Marshall Thermo King.
Trane Technologies and its Thermo King brand, a leader in sustainable transport temperature control solutions, acquired the UK company, which trades as Marshall Fleet Solutions, one of the UK’s longest established, and largest, Thermo King and Frigoblock dealers.
Marshall Fleet Solutions has represented Thermo King in the UK market for more than 50 years as part of the privately-owned Marshall Group.
The business currently offers a full suite of refrigeration services including installation, maintenance and repairs, in addition to tail lift services and comprehensive fleet management.
With the transition, Marshall Fleet Solutions joins Trane Technologies’ Thermo King business interests in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), where it will continue to serve the UK market, under the Trane brand.
“We are pleased to officially welcome the Marshall Fleet Solutions team,” said Thermo King EMEA President, Claudio Zanframundo.
“We look forward to working closely with the team as we position the business to deliver industry-leading service and innovation to customers and partners – and transform transport refrigeration in the UK.”
Marshall Group Chair, Roger Hardy, said: “We are delighted to have completed the sale of Marshall Fleet Solutions to Trane Technologies.
“This long-term investment by Trane Technologies, and its Thermo King business, will unlock significant benefits for customers, partners and employees, supporting the critical role played by the business in equipping and maintaining the assets that keep the UK’s cold chain moving.”
The acquisition includes all Marshall Fleet Solutions employees and its existing operations and depots across the UK.
