Cai Mep Group.

What Cai Mep Group. does

Cai Mep Group (Công ty TNHH Thương mại và Dịch vụ Cái Mép) is a privately-held Vietnamese limited liability company headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City that sells, rents, services, and transports refrigerated containers for cold chain logistics. Founded in 2007 by General Director Nguyễn Văn Trinh, the company operates a nationwide service footprint covering all 64 provinces of Vietnam, with depot and cold storage facilities near major ports such as Cat Lai and Phuc Long. Its customer base spans food and beverage producers, pharmaceutical companies, agricultural exporters, and import/export businesses, with a claimed 1,000+ customers served.

The company's core offering is an integrated cold chain container portfolio: reefer containers in 10ft/20ft/40ft/45ft sizes, dry containers, office containers, plus supporting equipment including Thermo King cooling systems, generators, refrigerant gases, and refrigerated trucks/trailers. Technology differentiation centers on the Remote Reefer Management (RRM/RMM) system — IoT hardware modules with integrated eSIM (3G/4G/5G) running on the Globe Tracker software platform — which transmits real-time container position, temperature, and refrigeration alarm status. Service revenue comes from professional inspection (Short PTI, Long PTI), container repair and maintenance, depot storage, container exchange, and cold chain transport domestically and to China.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time container and equipment sales, recurring rental/leasing of reefer containers and refrigeration equipment, and professional services for inspection, repair, and logistics. Pricing is entirely quote-based with no publicly disclosed tiers; customers engage via sales hotline, website inquiry forms, and field consultation. The company employs 9 people, has not raised external funding, and operates as a founder-controlled SME with no parent company, subsidiaries, or institutional investors identified.

Cai Mep Group sells and rents refrigerated (reefer) containers, dry containers, and office containers along with supporting cold-chain equipment (cooling systems, trucks, trailers, refrigerant gas, generators). Around this equipment inventory, the company delivers an integrated cold-chain solution: container inspection and testing (PTI), depot and cold-storage operations, repair and maintenance, reefer exchange, real-time monitoring (RCM), remote reefer management (RRM) via IoT/Globe Tracker, and domestic and cross-border refrigerated transport across 64 Vietnamese provinces and into China.

Product overview

Cai Mep Group (Công Ty TNHH Thương Mại và Dịch Vụ Cái Mép) is a Vietnamese logistics company specializing in cold chain solutions. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio centered around container products: reefer containers (10ft, 20ft, 40ft, 45ft) as the core product line, complemented by dry containers and office containers. Supporting the container fleet, the company provides cooling systems, refrigerated trucks and trailers, refrigerant gases, and specialized generators (new and second-hand). Technology-enabled services include RMM (Remote Reefer Management) for real-time temperature and position monitoring. The service ecosystem encompasses container inspection (PTI services), warehouse and storage operations (Empty Container Depot & Cold Storage), container sales and rental, repair and maintenance, container exchange, RCM monitoring, cold chain transportation domestically and to China, and reefer container leasing. The portfolio operates as an integrated cold chain solution rather than standalone products, with monitoring and logistics services tying the hardware offerings together.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Others

• CIMC (China International Marine Containers): Global leader in container manufacturing, including refrigerated containers, and a major supplier to the reefer industry. Comparable as a container and reefer equipment vendor upstream of Cai Mep's fleet; also competes indirectly through integrated logistics subsidiaries.
• Singamas Container Holdings: One of the world's largest container manufacturers producing dry and reefer containers. Comparable as a supplier of the core product Cai Mep sells and rents; upstream to Cai Mep's container sales business rather than a direct depot competitor.
• Thermo King: Global manufacturer of transport refrigeration units and a Cai Mep strategic supplier. Comparable because Thermo King products underpin Cai Mep's reefer fleet and the two companies share cold chain customers, though Thermo King is upstream equipment rather than a direct depot/transport competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Hapag-Lloyd: Major global container line with a sizable reefer fleet and growing inland cold chain services in Asia. Comparable as a reefer container and cold transport competitor; broader and more globally diversified than Cai Mep.
• CMA CGM: Top-tier global container shipping group with significant reefer capacity and a dedicated cold chain logistics subsidiary (CEVA Logistics). Comparable on reefer container services and integrated cold chain; operates far more broadly than Cai Mep.
• Maersk: Global ocean carrier with one of the world's largest reefer container fleets and integrated end-to-end cold chain logistics, including depot and inland services in Vietnam. Comparable because Cai Mep competes for the same reefer transport and storage wallet, but Maersk operates at vastly greater scale and across geographies.
• Carrier Transicold: Leading manufacturer of container and truck refrigeration units and a competitor/supplier to Cai Mep's installed base. Comparable on refrigeration technology used in reefer containers and refrigerated trucking; competes indirectly via equipment choice for cold chain operators.

Direct peers

• Gemadept Corporation: Major Vietnamese port, logistics, and container services operator offering container depots, freight forwarding, and inland transport. Comparable as a domestic Vietnamese competitor providing container storage/depot and related logistics services, though broader in scope and publicly listed.

Regional players

• Saigon Newport Corporation (SNP): State-owned operator of Vietnam's largest container ports, including Cat Lai — the same port area where Cai Mep locates depot facilities. Comparable as an adjacent infrastructure/logistics player whose terminal and depot footprint shapes Cai Mep's competitive environment in Vietnam.
• KCTC (Korea Container Terminal Co.): Regional container terminal and depot operator with reefer handling capabilities across Asian ports. Comparable as a reefer container yard and depot operator, though primarily serving Korean and Northeast Asian ports rather than Vietnam.
