Thermo King has acquired another one of its top dealer entities.

One month after announcing its purchase of Thermo King Midwest network, Trane Technologies and its Thermo King brand have completed the acquisition of Thermo King West, Inc., which goes to market as Force TK, one of the leading sellers of Thermo King units across the Western and Southern U.S. regions and a Top 10 Thermo King dealer in North America.

Force TK has been an exclusive dealer of Thermo King equipment for several decades, offering sales, installation and after-sales service of refrigeration units, accessories, maintenance contracts and telematics solutions. 

The dealership consists of approximately 225 employees across 15 full-service locations in Arizona, New Mexico, Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Wyoming, Maryland, West Virginia and Delaware. With this transition, Force TK joins Trane Technologies’ Thermo King business in the Americas and will continue to serve its existing markets as a company-owned dealership. 

“The continued growth of our company-owned dealer channel is a strong indicator of our commitment to taking care of our customers,” says Mark Dudek, dealer general manager at Thermo King Americas. “With this dealership’s strong reputation and experienced team, we strengthen our position in critical markets and open new doors for innovation and growth.”
