2020 will go down in history as the year when a global pandemic disrupted just about everything. In Australia, many businesses suffered, some went under, and nearly a thousand Australians died of Covid-19. However, it was not all ‘doom & gloom’ this year, and Thermal Mark Transport Refrigeration had a few highlights worthy of inclusion in this year-in-review recap.

Bigger premises, easy access: Thermal Mark moves to Arndell Park
Have you been to the new Thermal Mark factory yet? We’re now at 24 Penny Place, Arndell Park; just off Reservoir Road and minutes from the on and off-ramps of the M4.
We made good use of the Easter long weekend and shifted everything from our old premises in Smithfield to the new factory and were back in full swing on the Tuesday morning.
For customers who have already been to the new site for a service or repair, the reaction is pretty much the same the first time they arrive.
“The instant they jump out of their trucks they say ‘Wow – this is so much better than your old place!’” says Marc Gauci, Managing Director of Thermal Mark Transport Refrigeration. “Better access is one of the main things we wanted to give our customers, and it’s something they are appreciating straight away.”
How the Carbon Tax affects your refrigerant pricing!

The GWP assigned per kilo to R404a refrigerant is 3260kg. This means that 1kg of R404a equates to 3.26 metric tonnes of carbon.
When this is applied to the current carbon tax price of $23.00 per tonne it means that every 1kg of R404a refrigerant attracts $74.98 carbon tax. Continue reading
