“Wabash Acutherm demonstrates our commitment to meeting the demands of the cold chain market, as well as other areas of transportation where temperature control is critical to food safety and consumer health,” said the President and CEO Brent Yeagy. “We closely monitor our customers’ evolving needs for superior thermal solutions that provide versatility and, ultimately, operational and financial benefits.
