SeaCube Container Leasing said it is strengthening its position as an end-to-end provider of refrigerated equipment solutions through investment, acquisitions, and leadership additions aimed at delivering scalable and sustainable refrigerated equipment solutions.
The company said refrigerated equipment demand has remained resilient despite continued industry volatility, supported by consistent demand for food, pharmaceuticals, and other essential goods. “Volatility is now a constant,” said Bob Sappio, Chief Executive Officer of SeaCube. “Amid shifting trade policy and rising geopolitical risk, the refrigerated cargo market continues to prove durable.”
SeaCube announced several senior appointments. Jakob Karstoft was named Chief Commercial Officer to lead global commercial strategy with an emphasis on customer-focused solutions and sustainable growth; he is based in Europe and has more than 15 years of experience at Maersk Line.
Ben Thomas was appointed Chief Financial Officer, succeeding Dave Doorley, who SeaCube said will retire in June 2026; Thomas previously served as SeaCube’s Vice President and Treasurer since 2019.
SeaCube said James Armstrong, Senior Vice President, Emerging Business, oversees SeaCube Cold Solutions Inc. and Martin Container LLC, leading the combined platform’s strategic growth and operational direction, including go-to-market strategy and portable cold storage solutions for customers across the U.S.
The company also named Matthew Salmi as Vice President of Marketing and Commercial Strategy to guide brand, marketing, and communications as SeaCube advances its solutions-focused approach.
