Textainer First Leasing Company to Invest in PrimeLINE ONE ™ Refrigerated Containers "As a major supplier of refrigerated containers to shipping lines around the world, we have one of the industry's youngest and fastest-growing reefer fleets," said John Simmons, vice president, Refrigerated Containers, Textainer. "The PrimeLINE ONE refrigerated container further advances our commitment to provide our customers with equipment that is built to the highest specifications using the latest technology," Simmons added. Introduced this year, the PrimeLINE ONE refrigerated container was developed through a joint initiative of Carrier Transicold and Singamas to provide a solution that takes advantage of Carrier's industry-best-selling PrimeLINE ® container refrigeration system, which is assembled on-site into a custom-configured reefer container in a streamlined manufacturing process. The manufacturing technique provides an alternative to the traditional approach of bolting a complete refrigeration system to the front end of an insulated shipping container. The 40-foot high-cube PrimeLINE ONE containers are exclusively assembled at a new Carrier Transicold facility located next to Singamas' refrigerated container plant in Qingdao, China. "We're delighted that Textainer has endorsed the PrimeLINE ONE container for their latest acquisition," said Willy Yeo, director of marketing, Global Container Refrigeration, Carrier Transicold. "The design of the PrimeLINE ONE container along with its dedicated assembly facility enable us to optimize lead times for Textainer," Yeo said. "At the same time, the containers deliver the same familiar benefits of the PrimeLINE system." "Textainer's order demonstrates its confidence in the PrimeLINE ONE container's reliability and performance," said Andy Chan, chief operating officer, Singamas Container Holdings Limited. Carrier Transicold's PrimeLINE refrigeration unit has led the industry in sales for the past 11 years and is part of a continuum of Carrier container refrigeration innovation that started with the original self-contained front-wall system in 1968.
