Innovation Through Collaboration: Gray & Adams and Sunswap Sunswap is an emerging business, based in London, that Gray & Adams have recently welcomed into their customer base. Through their ethos of innovation, the team at Sunswap have a mission they have focused on since their inception in January 2020; to decarbonise the cold chain.
Michael tells us, “Our goal is to decarbonise the cold chain, with a primary market focus on trailer mounted refrigeration. In order to help us achieve a viable commercial product within an ambitious timeframe, we approached a variety of refrigerated trailer manufacturers. Ultimately, we chose to move forward with Gray & Adams due to their flexibility and their ability to achieve the turnaround we required, despite challenging market conditions.” He adds,
We recently caught up with co-founders, Andrew Sucis (COO) and Michael Lowe (CEO) to discuss Sunswap, its objectives and how collaborative working with Gray & Adams is helping it achieve its goals.
“The collaborative working approach from the Gray & Adams team was invaluable to us. As Sunswap is developing zero-emission transport refrigeration products that use solar power and battery technology, we needed open communication with the engineering team at Gray & Adams to ensure the uplift of the TRU went smoothly. The small details were important to get right to guarantee we had a quality product, fit for trial in 2022. The expertise of the team at Gray & Adams is second to none and we are proud to now have a product that we will begin deploying with customers in February.”
The decarbonisation mission Established in early 2020, Sunswap has already achieved tangible goals as a business, growing from three Cofounders and an idea, to ten full time staff within the space of two years. The business positions itself as a developer of the next generation of transport refrigeration, through providing the first viable zero-emission alternative to diesel powered systems.
