CHEREAU
In the 1950s, Jean CHEREAU developed the first refrigerated bodies designed specifically for transporting perishable goods. The brand quickly became established by producing insulated, and subsequently, refrigerated vehicles, which were always one step ahead of official regulations and the requirements of road haulage companies.
Meat, dairy products, fruit and vegetables, flowers and pharmaceutical products must leave their production sites and reach national and international markets while complying with increasingly stringent sanitary conditions.
