Our company was founded 1992 under the name Autotherm Ltd. The founders László Csurgó and Dkfm Peter Knerer had the aim of integrating the carrier cooling units that had no official dealer in Hungary at the time; into the awakening Hungarian refrigerated vehicle market. In 1995 the European business politic of Carrier created an own import company, at this point Autotherm Ltd also took on the service of the cooling units of the former competitor Thermo King, and became a determinative cooling unit service in South Hungary.

 

Where are we today?
