We are North Pro Equipment Inc., a North American manufacturer and industry innovator specializing in cold storage trailers, portable walk-in refrigeration units, and modular storage containers. Our products are engineered for durability, built for long-term performance, and designed to support businesses across Canada and the United States.
Who We Are
Our Story
Our journey began in 2014, when we recognized a gap in the temporary cold storage market. At the time, small refrigeration needs were being serviced by large refrigerated transport trailers — units built for long-haul logistics, not localized storage. They were oversized, inefficient for small inventory, and impractical for tight spaces. We set out to manufacture smaller, portable, and more efficient cooling and freezing units that delivered convenience without excessive space or power requirements.
As we expanded our early fleet, client feedback exceeded expectations. Demand grew rapidly — especially from local events, festivals, and regional industry partners who needed compact, reliable cold storage. This momentum led us to manufacture more Portable Walk-In Refrigeration Units, allowing us to scale our fleet and meet the market’s needs efficiently.
What followed was even more surprising. We began receiving inquiries from diverse industries, including:
-
Concrete companies supporting experimental Canadian roadway projects
-
Florists needing temperature-controlled storage for plants and flowers
-
Hospitality kitchens undergoing refrigeration renovations
-
Government, military, pharmaceutical, HVAC, restaurants, and caterers
-
And many more specialized commercial sectors
The diversity of our customer base validated our core belief: cold storage solutions should adapt to industry needs, not overwhelm them.
Birth of NPE
By 2017, it became clear that portable refrigeration demand was no longer regional — it was North American. After extensive research into existing market products, we evolved beyond leasing services and launched North Pro Equipment Inc. — a manufacturing-focused company built to serve:
-
Businesses needing longer-term cold or dry storage
-
Entrepreneurs interested in becoming owner-operators
-
Commercial sectors requiring affordable, customizable, factory-direct storage units
-
Clients operating in remote or climate-sensitive regions across North America
This shift allowed us to build manufacturer-direct partnerships, create more accessible storage solutions, and support industries regardless of location, climate, or logistical complexity.
