CoolKit and Mercedes Benz

CoolKit, the UK's leading specialist in temperature-controlled van conversions, has been awarded VanPartner status by Mercedes-Benz.

This accolade highlights CoolKit's dedication to exceptional quality in designing and manufacturing refrigerated conversions and bodybuilding for light commercial vehicles (LCVs).

The Mercedes-Benz VanPartner accreditation recognises converters that deliver high-quality products, enhance customer satisfaction, and boost productivity.

CoolKit, based in Burnley, achieved this status following a thorough inspection by Mercedes-Benz, which confirmed that their conversions met the standards outlined by the programme.

Known for superior craftsmanship and innovative solutions in the refrigerated van conversion market, CoolKit's new status as a Mercedes-Benz VanPartner showcases its continuous efforts to push industry boundaries.

Their products are renowned for durability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal, making them a preferred choice for businesses seeking reliable temperature-controlled commercial vehicles.

 CoolKit’s managing director, Daniel Miller, said, “Being recognised as a Mercedes-Benz VanPartner is a significant milestone for us. It not only strengthens our relationship with Mercedes-Benz but also serves as a prestigious seal of approval, endorsing the quality of our engineering and manufacturing processes, which we take great pride in.”

He added: “Alignment with a world-class manufacturer like Mercedes-Benz underlines the high standards we uphold at CoolKit, providing customers with added assurance of what they can expect from a CoolKit product.

"This accreditation will enable us to continue innovating with new temperature-controlled vehicle solutions.”

Marsha Thomas, head of marketing at Mercedes-Benz Vans in the UK said: “At Mercedes-Benz Vans we’re dedicated to providing best-in-class vehicles that keep businesses and communities moving.

"The launch of our Bodybuilder Programme, with our internationally recognised VanPartner accreditation at its heart, recognises bodybuilders such as CoolKit who are ensuring quality products and customer satisfaction – giving customers the confidence they are getting the best service and product possible.

"We’re pleased to announce CoolKit as VanPartner and look forward to working with them in the future.”

For customers, this accreditation means enhanced confidence in choosing CoolKit for their temperature-controlled van conversion needs. The VanPartner status assures that CoolKit’s products meet Mercedes-Benz's high standards of quality and safety.

 Looking ahead, CoolKit aims to use the accreditation to enhance its product offerings and expand its market presence - by spurring new innovations and drive the development of state-of-the-art solutions.
