EURAM GmbH

What EURAM GmbH does

EURAM GmbH is a German family-owned transport refrigeration specialist headquartered in Haan, operating as an authorized Thermo King dealer since 1979. The company sells and services diesel (T-Series), direct-drive (V-Series), fully electric (E-Series, B-100 ECO, E-200, Frigoblock FK-Series), and hybrid (SLXi) cooling units for trucks, trailers, and vans, and assembles complete refrigerated vehicles in partnership with multiple OEMs. EURAM distributes and supports these products through 10 owned service locations across Germany supplemented by a mobile technician fleet providing on-site maintenance, 24/7 emergency response, ATP testing, HACCP cleaning, GDP pharmaceutical qualification, and SLXi refurbishment.

The business model blends transactional hardware revenue with high-margin recurring service: ThermoKare maintenance contracts, mobile service hours, Blue Track fleet management subscriptions, financing via De Lage Landen, and recurring compliance work (ATP recertification every six years, HACCP, GDP). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with limited unit pricing visibility (e.g., 125 EUR + VAT for a seasonal check-up). Customer mix is enterprise and mid-market fleet operators in food logistics (Spedition Wirtz, Baum, Brocker Logistik, Simon Loos, Tevex Logistics/Tönnies Group), pharmaceuticals (via GDP qualification), and special vehicles (ISF Irsfeld).

Go-to-market is consultative direct sales through the branch network, supported by an inbound phone/email channel and a 24-hour emergency hotline, with limited digital marketing presence (website, blog, Facebook). The company is privately held with no external investors, governed by the Geschäftsführer-Duo of Frank Wachten and Julien Schweden following a 2020 second-generation succession. EURAM has won multiple Thermo King EMEA awards (Dealer of the Year 2020, VP Truck Dealer of the Year 2018, International Dealer Award, Blue Track Select 2023/2025) and holds TÜV SÜd and Certi-Tech certifications, but does not develop proprietary AI/ML — its telematics and predictive maintenance capabilities are supplied by Thermo King.

Recent moves12 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Others

• Krone: Krone is a major European trailer and commercial-vehicle body manufacturer with a refrigerated-trailer range that overlaps with EURAM's Kühlauflieger business. It is a complementary/competing supplier in fleet complete-vehicle deals.
• Lamberet: Lamberet is a leading French manufacturer of refrigerated vehicle bodies and complete refrigerated trucks. It sits in the same cold-chain ecosystem as EURAM and competes indirectly for complete-vehicle business with fleet operators in France and the wider DACH-adjacent region.
• Schmitz Cargobull: Schmitz Cargobull is Europe's largest refrigerated-trailer manufacturer, often specified together with Thermo King units. EURAM completes and services trailers that compete with Schmitz's factory-built refrigerated offerings, making it an adjacent competitor in complete-vehicle sales.
• Frigoblock: Frigoblock (a Trane Technologies/Thermo King brand since 2015) is the electric-refrigeration OEM whose FK-Series EURAM sells and services. While a supplier, Frigoblock's direct sales team and other service partners partially overlap with EURAM's footprint in the e-truck segment.

Direct peers

• Carrier Transicold: Carrier Transicold is the principal global competitor to Thermo King in transport refrigeration for trucks, trailers, and containers, with its own dealer-and-service network selling and servicing comparable diesel, electric, and hybrid refrigeration units. It competes head-to-head with EURAM's Thermo King portfolio for fleet-operator wallets.

Broad incumbents

• Dometic Group: Dometic is a large mobile-climate and refrigeration specialist with truck, van, and trailer cooling offerings overlapping EURAM's portfolio. It serves the same commercial-vehicle OEMs and fleet customers across Europe and represents an alternative-brand threat in tenders.
• Trane Technologies: Trane Technologies is the parent of Thermo King and Frigoblock, controlling the product roadmap, pricing, and dealer economics that drive EURAM's revenue. Any strategic shift by Trane toward direct-to-fleet distribution directly impacts EURAM's positioning.
• Thermo King: Thermo King (a Trane Technologies brand) is the OEM whose T-, V-, E-, B-, C- and SLXi product families EURAM sells and services. While a partner, Thermo King's own 500+ service locations in 75 countries can substitute for EURAM on large national accounts, making it a partial competitor as well as supplier.

Regional players

• Petit Forestier: Petit Forestier is Europe's leading refrigerated vehicle rental and leasing specialist, headquartered in France with cross-border reach. It is a regional peer on the leasing/financing side of cold-chain transport — including via De Lage Landen partnerships in Germany — rather than direct retail.

Emerging players

• Hultsteins: Hultsteins is a UK/Swedish specialist in electric and hybrid transport refrigeration systems (e.g., Eco-Drive) for trucks and trailers. It overlaps with EURAM's Frigoblock and hybrid SLXi portfolio as an emerging alternative-brand competitor in the e-refrigeration segment.
