Thermo King has appointed a new ESA sales director, Kay Henze, formerly of Dole.
Thermo King is the global leader in solutions for temperature-controlled transport, supplying the world market from 11 production facilities and over 800 distributors worldwide. The company’s new recruit brings a wealth of industry experience including 15 years working for shipping lines such as H.Schuldt, Maersk and Senator Lines and eight years with Dole as port operations manager where he was responsible for logistics in North Europe.
“We’re thrilled to have Kay join our team,” said Dermott Crombie, vice president Global Marine Solutions at Thermo King. “Kay’s knowledge of the industry, and deep understanding of cargo requirements, will undoubtedly help us continue to grow our value-added strategy to shipping lines and shippers alike.”
The company offers a wide range of refrigeration and heating units for vehicles of all sizes, from small vans to large trailers, as well as airborne and ocean-going containers. In addition Thermo King provides heating, ventilation and air-conditioning equipment for passenger buses and railcars.
In 1997 Thermo King launched the highly acclaimed CERTI-TECH skills testing programme for dealer transport support technicians. Designed to provide on-line testing with the overall aim to establish high standards servicing, maintenance and installation across the industry, the programme has proven to be extremely successful
CERTI-TECH makes up for the lack of formal training in the industry and presents employers with the opportunity to link a measurable skill level to a career progression plan with structured remuneration.
The CERTI-TECH test is spilt into three levels: bronze, silver and gold, which marks approximately 60 months of formal training and hands on experience and a gold-level test.
