THE
REFRIGERATED
CONTAINERS
Zhendre Refrigerated Containers are the result of 70 years of experience in refrigeration and containerisation of mobile solutions for extreme conditions.
Louis Zhendre designed and built the world’s first autonomous refrigerated container in 1950! Following this invention, ACFT Louis Zhendre was created in 1955.
Since then, we have been designing and manufacturing refrigerated containers to meet the most extreme temperature requirements.
Our Refrigerated Containers are designed for companies operating in hostile environments or in countries with poor infrastructure.
They also meet the specific needs of the Defence sector and are commonly used on theatres of operation by the armed forces.
The French, English, Belgian, Spanish, Irish, Portuguese, Algerian, Moroccan, Tunisian, Beninese and Ivorian armies use Zhendre Refrigerated Containers.
This is also the case for United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (PKOs) around the world.
