TITAN Containers introduces ArcticStore Horizon with 55% lower energy use TITAN Containers has introduced ArcticStore Horizon, a portable cold room designed to reduce energy consumption by an average of 55% while using near-zero global warming potential refrigerant.

• CEO Søren Skov Mogensen emphasized the product arrives as cold storage demand grows 10-20% annually, driven by expanding grocery delivery, shifting food consumption patterns, and temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products.

• The unit combines vacuum insulation panels, previously used only in pharmaceutical shipping, with an integrated solar-ready roof featuring tilting panels that maximize output.

• Approximately 30% of energy savings come from improved insulation and 25% from solar contribution.

• Units arrive ready to operate, can be scaled or linked into modular "SuperStores," and include SmartArctic cloud-based monitoring for real-time visibility and remote control, addressing compliance requirements like FSMA 204. (Freight Waves)
