TransFRESH Corporation was formed in 1966 by Whirlpool Corporation for the purpose of selling its proprietary family of TECTROL® Atmospheres in transportation vehicles. The TECTROL® system is based on modifying or controlling the atmosphere around perishable fruits and vegetables to extend their freshness and market life.

Whirlpool had already successfully introduced the TECTROL® Atmosphere systems for warehouse storage of apples and pears as well as the first prototypes for ocean containers and rail cars. The creation of TransFRESH made it possible to effectively design and market these services to the entire perishable trade.

Consistent research, development and application of technology have established TransFRESH as the world leader in modified and controlled atmosphere processes for the fresh food industry. Over its long history, TransFRESH has successfully developed and provided the perishable industry with systems and processes for refrigerated ocean containers and sealed pallet bags. TransFRESH continues to market its entire family of controlled and modified atmosphere processes under the tradename TECTROL® Modified and Controlled Atmosphere.
