description During the post war era, John Swire & Sons Pty Ltd expanded its interests in Australia beyond shipping. In 1956, a tentative investment in a company in Brisbane led to the purchase of a management stake in a freezer trucking company called Frigmobile Pty Ltd. Frigmobile became a wholly owned subsidiary in 1967 and became one of Australia’s best known cold storage and transport providers. In 2004, John Swire & Sons, Pty restructured its Australian cold storage and refrigerated transport businesses. These were consolidated under the Swire Cold Storage name, under which the Frigmobile and Cold Chain Logistics brands continue to operate today.
