SeaCube Cold Solutions, backed by SeaCube Container Leasing, has acquired Martin Container, a portable cold storage container company serving the U.S. West Coast. SeaCube said the deal combines its national infrastructure with Martin’s regional operations to support customers across the United States.
SeaCube Cold Solutions launched in 2025 and focuses exclusively on portable cold storage. The company said it provides refrigeration solutions to grocery retailers, food distributors, agriculture, festivals, restaurants, pharmaceuticals, logistics operators, and other industries. Martin Container adds nearly 50 years of customer relationships and service across California, Arizona, and Nevada, according to the announcement.
SeaCube said Martin Container’s operations near the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will be integrated into SeaCube’s depot and transportation network. The company said customers will benefit from faster delivery and improved regional coverage, increased service capacity backed by SeaCube’s national fleet, expanded access to energy-efficient refrigeration technology, and enhanced reliability supported by digital monitoring systems.
Both companies said customers should expect a smooth transition with continuity of day-to-day operations, with the Martin Container team continuing to deliver service as before, now supported by SeaCube resources, technology, and expertise. Sapling Financial Consultants Inc. served as financial advisor to SeaCube in connection with the acquisition.
“This acquisition enhances both scale and regional strength,” said James Armstrong, SVP of SeaCube Cold Solutions. “Martin’s long-standing reputation and operational depth complement our growing national platform, allowing us to deliver faster, more flexible cold storage solutions where customers need them most.”
