Keep the load cold. Run the reefer less.
greentek Cold Chain Systems (GCCS) store cold in slim, plant-based thermal panels, so trailers, cold rooms and buildings hold temperature while the refrigeration runs less. Gilded Phoenix Thermal Solutions brings it to fleets and facilities across the United States.

Every degree of cold costs fuel
Every hour of every day, refrigerated cargo moves across oceans, highways and storage facilities. From frozen foods to pharmaceuticals, fresh flowers to fine wine, billions of dollars of temperature-sensitive goods are always at risk.
Keeping them cold runs on diesel or electricity around the clock. Every degree preserved takes energy, and that energy drives both operating costs and emissions.
What erodes cold chain margins
- Temperature drift
- Costly delays at ports and on the road
- Rising fuel costs
- Escalating insurance premiums
- Growing green regulatory compliance
Each one drives up operating costs and business risk, and each one makes smarter, more resilient refrigeration more valuable.
Hundreds of thousands of reefers, every one burning fuel
Greentek cites 189.4 million containers moving across the world's seas each year. Roughly 6% are refrigerated, with an estimated 200,000 to 400,000 reefer containers in motion every day, and reefer demand growing 8.8% a year on food, pharmaceutical and chemical shipping.
In the United States, refrigerated trucking is a $13.65 billion industry running more than 500,000 trailers. Every one consumes fuel, energy and capital, and every one is a chance to cut costs and emissions.
Industry figures as published by Greentek.
Plant-based innovation for superior thermal management
- Sustainable: made from USDA Certified Bio-Preferred plant materials
- Precise: engineered to store and release thermal energy at set temperatures between -75°C and 175°C
- Durable: proven over thousands of thermal cycles without degradation
- Food-safe: food grade, biodegradable, and cuts waste, spoilage and carbon emissions
One technology, three ways to use it
ATTS for refrigerated transport
Two-inch panels on trailer ceilings and walls. Greentek reports up to 70% less fuel*, and the system moves to a new trailer when you replace one.
Fleets →
PCM Panel for buildings and cold storage
Panels on walls and ceilings on a lock-in-place track. Greentek reports up to 35% less HVAC energy* and over 25% energy savings in cold storage*.
Buildings →
PCM Wrap for roofs and ceilings
Installed above drop ceilings and in roofs. Greentek reports 25% to 35% less HVAC energy*.

How the system works
The refrigeration unit charges the panels. Once cargo is loaded, the panels absorb heat as it comes in, at the dock, at every stop and when the engine is off, so cool-down is faster and temperatures stay stable.

“I was initially skeptical about how the GCCS would reduce fuel costs, but I decided to give it a try. Ken sent someone to install the system in our oldest trailer, and the results were astonishing. The driver thought the system was broken because the truck wasn't running constantly like before. The trailer became more efficient than our newest ones, performing beyond our expectations.”
Lucin F.Owner, Flan Enterprises (a greentek customer)“For years, our lab's rooftop unit (RTU) struggled to maintain temperature on hot, humid days. When I met Ken Lorence at greentek, he suggested using PCM wraps to solve the issue. Initially, I was a bit skeptical, but after researching and speaking with manufacturers, I decided to give it a try. greentek installed the energy blankets above our suspended ceiling and added R-13 insulation as recommended. The results were impressive: the RTU now maintains the lab temperature effortlessly, even on the hottest days.”
