Klinge Corporation receives prestigious small business award


Hellam Township-based Klinge has won the Eastern Pennsylvania SBA award for Exporter of the Year for 2018. The award was presented to Klinge by the Small Business Administration on June 7. 

According to Antonio Leta, Director of the Eastern Pennsylvania SBA, Klinge Corp. — the world leader in specialised transport refrigeration, freezing and power-generation equipment — is “an outstanding example of a business that starts and grows through over 30 years of exporting success in the global market.”

Klinge Corporation was nominated for the award by Martin Brill, the program manager for International Trade at the Kutztown University Small Business Development Center, who describes a reputation for quality and service developed through over 20 years of working together. Klinge was selected for this honour from among dozens of successful businesses nominated in forty different counties.

Klinge’s refrigerated container export business was founded in 1984 and is a family-owned and -operated business exporting transport refrigeration and power generation solutions to over countries all around the world, with more than 80% of its sales overseas. The company services such industries as the pharmaceutical industry, seafood and meat processing, oil and gas, the military, and the chemical industry, with easy-to-operate yet sophisticated and reliable refrigeration equipment.

Klinge’s customised designs, developed to stand up to rigorous testing and challenging environments, may provide an edge to companies who use them over the standard, mass-produced containers that other commercial enterprises typically use. Klinge Corp.’s offerings include refrigerated tank containers, offshore explosion-proof refrigerated containers, dual refrigerated containers, blast freezers, ultra-low temperature units, quick thaw units, collapsible food storage bins and integral and external generator sets.
