ECOFRIDGE STRENGTHENS GLOBAL PUSH
WITH NEW SENIOR APPOINTMENTS

UKRAM Industries, creator of the unique emission-free transport refrigeration system ecoFridge, has appointed two key senior personnel to further strengthen its international team.

Thomas (Tom) Roller has been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer and David Rogalski, Vice President - Finance and Chief Financial Officer.

Tom Roller has a long track record of leading and developing manufacturing, distribution and service companies. His 30 year career has encompassed finance, planning, sales, marketing, manufacturing and general management in the United States and Europe. He has a wealth of relevant experience in both the commercial refrigeration and transportation industries having been the CEO and co-founder of National Refrigeration Services, as well as CEO of Fruehauf Trailer Corporation. Prior to these positions, he held senior management positions with Carrier Corporation.

Commenting on his appointment Tom Roller said: “I am very pleased to come on board with this rapidly expanding company at a time when the market is seeking to reduce carbon emissions and lower operating costs. The unique ecoFridge product offers the transport industry a highly efficient temperature controlled solution which not only eliminates carbon and noise pollution but also dramatically reduces costs – which in the current economic climate provides a major commercial advantage.”

Dave Rogalski has over twenty years experience in finance and strategic management with a diverse background in both the public and private sectors, under various senior finance executive positions in the manufacturing, distribution, retail and service industries.

Dave Rogalski said: “Rapid growth needs careful management to ensure the long-term success of any company. My experience in successful rapid growth organisations, strategic planning and the development of key business processes will help the ecoFridge brand move forward on a sound footing as a world class organisation. ecoFridge is the first transport refrigeration system to operate in complete silence with no moving parts, no harmful emissions and absolutely no noise.

The system provides more operating benefits than a diesel unit and costs up to 30% less to run. The system can achieve pull-down to set temperature 70-80% faster and it is virtually maintenance free. With the effects of climate change featuring heavily in the headlines the development and promotion of cleaner energy and transport technology has become of utmost importance. Noise pollution too, is a major issue particularly for people in urban locations who endure the sound of vehicles delivering to retail locations at all hours of the night. 

The ecoFridge refrigeration system from Ukram Industries addresses both of these concerns and is set to revolutionise how temperature-sensitive goods are transported around the world.

ecoFridge has been fully ATP certified and has no operational safety restrictions. Many food transporters around the globe are already looking to ecoFridge as the only viable transport cooling system which can combat high fuel costs, noise and carbon emissions.
