Klinge is the leading provider of specialized ISO refrigerated containers and generator sets in the world. Klinge's customized designs offer civilian and military customers robust alternatives to standard, mass-produced refrigerated containers which often cannot meet the requirements of harsh environments or stringent testing.

TRADITION

Klinge is a family-owned business that was founded in 1984 as a spin-off of York Borg Warner. Company President, Henrik Klinge, began his career in the transport refrigeration industry in the early 70's as a test engineer and installer and working closely with his late father, Paul Klinge. In the late 70's, Henrik was appointed as the Danish member of the ISO committee to develop, draft and obtain approval for the ISO standard 1496-2 for refrigerated containers as well as ISO 10368 for standardization of the remote monitoring of reefer containers onboard oceangoing vessels.

Both Paul and Henrik traveled extensively as the global agents for York Borg Warner’s marine transport division—a business they would later purchase and rename as Klinge Corporation. Following this acquisition, Paul remained in Denmark to manage other businesses (eventually being officially recognized by the Danish government for his contributions to trade in that country), and Henrik came to the U.S. to run Klinge, a company which does more than 85% of its business outside the U.S.
