CMG Containers has announced expanded availability of refrigerated containers for sale and rental, responding to growing demand for reliable cold chain infrastructure across multiple industries. The U.S.-based provider now offers both 20ft and 40ft refrigerated shipping containers, known as reefers, designed to maintain precise temperatures for perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, agricultural products, and temperature-sensitive materials.
The expansion comes as global supply chains grow more complex and consumer expectations around freshness, safety, and quality continue to rise. Industries ranging from food distribution and cold storage logistics to biotech and medical supply increasingly require mobile refrigeration solutions that can scale quickly without sacrificing performance. According to CEO Ken Malkoç, "Cold chain failures are costly and often irreversible. Our refrigerated containers are built to protect sensitive goods, maintain compliance, and give businesses confidence that their products are stored and transported under exact conditions."
Refrigerated shipping containers are insulated steel containers equipped with integrated refrigeration units capable of maintaining temperatures well below freezing or within controlled chilled ranges. Unlike passive cold storage solutions, CMG's refrigerated containers actively regulate internal conditions, making them suitable for diverse applications including perishable food storage, pharmaceutical supplies, agricultural products, and chemical materials requiring temperature stability. Each unit is engineered for continuous operation, ensuring temperature consistency even in high-heat, high-humidity, or remote environments.
Key features of CMG's refrigerated containers include precise temperature control systems that maintain consistent internal temperatures across a wide range, heavy-duty insulated construction that minimizes temperature fluctuation, ISO-certified design suitable for global transport, reliable power compatibility with standard electrical connections, and secure, weather-tight construction with durable corten steel exteriors. The company offers both 20ft refrigerated containers for operations requiring precise temperature control within a smaller footprint, and 40ft refrigerated containers for large-volume storage and transport needs.
In addition to refrigerated containers for sale, CMG Containers offers refrigerated container rental solutions for customers with temporary or seasonal requirements. Rental options are ideal for peak season inventory overflow, emergency cold storage needs, temporary project-based operations, and facility maintenance or expansion periods. By offering both purchase and rental options, CMG allows businesses to scale cold storage capacity without long-term capital commitments.
The company also provides customization services to adapt reefers to unique operational needs, including multi-zone temperature control, interior shelving and racking systems, alarm and monitoring systems, interior lighting upgrades, and specialized flooring for hygiene or heavy loads. These modifications allow refrigerated shipping containers to function as mobile cold rooms, inspection spaces, or integrated components of larger cold chain systems.
As regulations around food safety, pharmaceutical handling, and product traceability become more stringent, businesses are increasingly investing in controlled storage solutions that reduce risk and increase operational resilience. Refrigerated containers provide mobility compared to fixed cold storage facilities, faster deployment without construction delays, scalability for growing or seasonal operations, and cost control through modular infrastructure. CMG Containers helps clients select the right refrigerated solution based on volume, temperature range, duration, and site conditions.
With nationwide availability and a delivery network spanning the continental United States, CMG Containers ensures that refrigerated containers are accessible to customers across the country. The company's approach combines technical expertise, product range, and customer-focused service, offering businesses dependable refrigeration solutions built for real-world use in demanding environments from ports and rail yards to construction sites and agricultural fields.
