Repair

Establishing of Quality Services Since the "Old Days"
Willie Goh, the founder for this business, mentioned that it is very fortunate to have the opportunity on working in the Port of Singapore Authority, (PSA) as a reefer technician for six years starting from late seventies. As during these old days, the training provided by PSA was very comprehensive and extensive. All technicians were even required to rebuild the motors and compressors, including winding of motor and baked it. By knowing the fundamental process; it enables him to be more competence on diagnosing the reefer system.
The rigour and stringent trainings provided by PSA are definitely one of the essential factors that enable Willie to gain trust from the customers. As the business gradually expand, Willie has hired some of the PSA ex-technicians that undergone the similar training programs. They are now assisting us to supervise the key depots and terminals. One of them was even the PSA Reefer Instructor during the old days who gave training to Willie.

Maintaining of Quality Services & Ability to Handle Special Types of Reefer
The management understands that having a pool of fully qualified technical staffs is the main assets for rendering of excellence services to Maintenance and Repair (M&R) on reefer machinery. Hence, by maintaining low staff turnover and continuously sending them to attend reefer seminars conducted by various manufacturers on every year, this large pool of technical staffs are well equipped with the latest reefer technology and knowledge to service all kinds of reefer machinery.
In addition, some of our selected technical staffs are being trained to handle special types of reefer, like Carrier Controlled Atmosphere (CA), that are able to slow down the fresh cargo ripening process by adjusting the Oxygen and Carbon dioxide levels in the air inside the container, as well as Thermo King (TK) Deep Freezer that is able to pull down the box temperature till -60 Deg C. Our technical staffs have commissioned on a few hundreds of the new Carrier CA reefer and attended course given by TK for the Deep Freezer. This enables us to handle these special types of reefer while being transshipped in PSA with ease. Also, we have been actively involved in special project, like conversion of refrigerant from R12 to either R134a or R409a due to Ozone Depletion issue. Up-to-date, we have already performed this retrofix program for a few hundreds of reefer containers.



Recognition of Service Quality by various Manufacturers
Carrier, being the manufacturer with largest global market share, has recognized our effort and quality services rendered to Shipping Lines and Container Leasing Companies, and given us several awards during these years, like; Best Practice in Customer Satisfaction, Special Recognition in Employee Development, as well as the most Prestige Recognition, i.e. the Top Performance Award, on acknowledging our company as being one of the Best Service Agents in the world. We have received the Top Performance Award twice in recent years.
Also, the two Japanese Manufacturers, i.e. Mitsubishi and Daikin, have periodically invited us to attend some special training programs conducted in their manufacturing plants at, Nagoya and Osaka respectively. According to our understanding, they only short-listed those Service Agents in the world that they deem are providing excellence and premium services, to the Shipping Lines and Container Leasing Companies.
In addition, these two manufacturers have even gone one step further, whereby Daikin had engaged us to provide 24 hours Technical Hotlines services to Shipping lines in Asia for several years, as well as Mitsubishi had requested us to assist them on providing part of the training conducted in Singapore. This is another endorsement by the Manufacturers on our ability to provide quality M&R services.

Extreme high filled-rate on Parts for M&R
No one is able to complete the repair even if you have excellence technical competency but without the required parts for replacement. This will resulted in customers paying unnecessary additional storage cost, poor utilization on resource, and worst of all, threat of losing shippers due to insufficient boxes to fulfill any booking order.
The Management is well aware of it and has stock up extensive and comprehensive range of reefer spare parts for all makers with value that worth around S$3 million. Please refer to Parts for details description.
