“The mobility and stackability of the Almar refrigerated container is ideal for our back-of-store space limitations, while the flexibility of being able to lease a reefer for as long as we need it, works well for our business. The service and efficiency we get from the Almar sales and technical departments is commendable, which is why they are our preferred supplier when it comes to cold storage solutions.”
