UK: CoolKit has secured sole rights to distribute the range of insulated and temperature controlled containers produced by the Italian manufacturer Melform in the UK and Ireland.

Melform is a leader in the field of temperature controlled transport systems with solutions for a range of sectors including pharmaceutical and food logistics. It is a subsidiary of Bonetto Group, established in 1929, and based near Turin.

Melform produces a wide range of insulated containers ranging in size from 20 litres to 1,350 litres capacity. Temperature control is available either by electrically powered refrigeration, or rechargeable batteries, or rechargeable eutectic plates.

Delighted to have secured the sole distribution rights, CoolKit MD Rupert Gatty said: “Melform has a fantastic reputation and already features prominently around numerous major fleet operators. Globally. Their products perfectly complement the range of temperature controlled vehicle conversions we manufacture ourselves, meaning we now offer an unrivalled range of solutions for companies transporting temperature controlled loads.”
