Jersey Desk/10324604

MONTVALE, N.J. - JerseyDesk -- SeaCube Container Leasing, a premier global provider of intermodal equipment, is strengthening its foundation for long-term growth as an end-to-end provider of refrigerated equipment solutions. Through disciplined investment, strategic acquisitions, and targeted leadership additions, SeaCube is enhancing its ability to deliver reliable, scalable, and sustainable refrigerated equipment solutions and customer value.

In 2025, SeaCube was the largest global investor in refrigerated intermodal equipment, underscoring its commitment to the cold chain even amid continued industry volatility. While dry container markets faced oversupply and uncertainty, refrigerated equipment demand remained resilient, supported by consistent demand for food, pharmaceuticals, and other essential goods.

"Volatility is now a constant," said Bob Sappio, Chief Executive Officer of SeaCube. "Amid shifting trade policy and rising geopolitical risk, the refrigerated cargo market continues to prove durable."
