Since 1976, Transcold has been keeping New Zealand’s cold chain moving. What began as a small, hands-on operation focused on refrigeration supply and repair has grown into one of the country’s most trusted names in temperature-controlled transport. When Transcold began working with Carrier Transicold in 1970, it wasn’t just a business decision, it was a partnership built on shared values of innovation, reliability, and performance.
From the very beginning, Carrier stood out as a world-class brand. Their refrigeration systems were known not just for keeping goods cold, but for doing it smarter, with precision, durability, and technology that led the industry. Decades later, that reputation continues to hold strong. Carrier’s commitment to research and innovation has shaped how the world moves perishable goods, setting the benchmark for what reliable, efficient cold chain technology should be.
Carrier Transicold is part of Carrier Corporation, a global leader in sustainable and intelligent cold chain solutions. Their story traces back to 1902, when Willis Carrier invented modern air conditioning, a breakthrough that changed how people live and work. Today, that same inventive spirit drives everything they do, from advanced refrigeration units that deliver consistent performance in the harshest conditions, to intelligent digital systems that give operators real-time visibility and control.
But what truly makes Carrier world-class is their focus on the bigger picture. The cold chain is more than a line of equipment, it’s a lifeline. It’s what ensures food stays fresh, vaccines arrive safely, and essential goods reach people wherever they’re needed. Carrier’s technology has led that mission for more than 45 years, continually pushing for greater efficiency, lower emissions, and more sustainable operation. Their innovations, including high-efficiency electric systems and low global warming potential refrigerants, are helping transport operators worldwide reduce environmental impact without sacrificing performance.
For Transcold, that global excellence meets local expertise. Together, we help New Zealand businesses meet the demands of modern transport, reliably, safely, and sustainably. Whether it’s a small operator or a nationwide fleet, our customers trust the strength of Carrier’s technology and the experience of our team to keep their goods moving with confidence.
Because when it comes to keeping New Zealand cool, we’ve been doing it right for nearly fifty years, and with Carrier by our side, we’re only getting better.
