Following the work undertaken by ECOOLTEC Grosskopf GmbH in the development of pioneering and sustainable transport refrigeration systems based on natural refrigerants being put into production, Peter Großkopf has fittingly decided to conclude his long and exceptional career in transport refrigeration by ending his active involvement with ECOOLTEC. The internationally renowned refrigeration technology expert founded ECOOLTEC based on his passion for the design and development of energy efficient and environmentally benign refrigeration. He has been advising the company, helping to enable CEO Henning Altebäumer and CTO Dr Jürgen Süß to successfully implement Peter Großkopf's vision.
Thanks to his extraordinary expertise, Peter Großkopf (77) has repeatedly during the past four decades set new technical landmarks and standards in the transport refrigeration industry. His primary goal has always been to develop innovative transport refrigeration machines to meet the current and future challenges of temperature-controlled road transport. In doing so, he focused not only on the performance and economic efficiency of the systems, but also on optimal environmental compatibility.
This is now the mission of ECOOLTEC Grosskopf GmbH, of which Peter Großkopf is the founder, past Managing Director and a consultant. The start-up from Mülheim an der Ruhr specialises in purely electrically driven refrigeration machines with natural refrigerants – a world first in road freight transport. This technology currently creates the most favourable CO2 footprint in transport refrigeration.
