Portabull Cold Storage expands national reach with acquisition of Portable Refrigeration Storage, Inc.

Portabull Cold Storage (Portabull) has announced a transformative acquisition of Portable Refrigeration Storage, Inc. (PRS), adding PRS’s resources to its leading fleet of electric-powered, temporary on-site cold storage units. This move not only boosts Portabull’s capacity but also extends its advanced, eco-friendly solutions to PRS’s well-established client base across the Southeast United States.

With a vision to revolutionise temporary cold storage, Portabull’s president, John Herman, emphasized the company’s commitment to customer value and nationwide reach. He stated that the acquisition bolsters Portabull’s influence, particularly in the Southeast, enabling an even broader reach of Portabull’s cutting-edge electric cold storage solutions for various industries—from large grocery chains to local florists.

PRS’s Trusted Legacy Now Backed by Portabull’s Innovation

Founded 25 years ago, PRS has earned a reputation as a trusted provider of rental cold storage solutions. Rick Nuckols, president of PRS, said the acquisition marks a natural progression for the company’s clients, ensuring that they receive enhanced service with Portabull’s advanced fleet and extended support options. PRS’s seasoned team members will join Portabull, preserving PRS’s legacy of customer commitment and expertise.

Leading the Charge in Sustainable Cold Storage

Portabull’s distinctive focus on electric-powered cold storage units stands out in an industry dominated by less sustainable, diesel-powered options. Since 2008, Portabull has helped businesses cut costs and environmental impact while meeting demand for cold storage solutions that adapt to scale. Mr. Herman highlighted that Portabull’s electric units allow clients to manage operations with minimal environmental strain, an increasingly vital consideration for businesses.

Broader Access to Portabull’s Eco-Friendly Cold Storage Solutions

With PRS’s fleet now integrated into Portabull’s lineup, the company is set to meet the growing demand for sustainable cold storage options. Portabull’s commitment to cost efficiency, reliability, and reduced carbon impact aligns well with the needs of PRS’s existing clientele. Mr. Herman emphasised the importance of offering sustainable, scalable solutions for a variety of customers, from grocers to event coordinators, noting that the agreement with PRS is a “game-changer” for organizations throughout the Southeast.
