Thermo King®
Founded in 1938 -- when Frederick M. Jones invented a refrigerated trailer and forever changed the food industry - Thermo King designs and builds transport temperature control systems for a variety of mobile applications. As a key strategic brand in Ingersoll Rand's Climate Control Technologies, Thermo King is a global manufacturer of refrigeration and heating units for trucks, trailers, rail cars and ocean-going containers, as well as air conditioning for buses, trains and urban mass transit.
Ingersoll-Rand’s operations in Ireland originally centered on its acquisition of Thermo King in 1997. In 2002, IR’s presence in Ireland grew when it opened its international trading company in Swords, Co. Dublin.
Thermo King’s Galway plant employs 550 people and has a turnover in excess of €200 million. Recent innovations within the production process have resulted in the addition of higher value-added functions. Galway has operational responsibility for the other European plants and is the centre for ancillary services including Thermo King’s technical centre and a shared services operation.
