Kerstner as a refrigerated conversion manufacturer means considering interior insulation, refrigeration technology and vehicle conversion together. Customers benefit because a refrigerated vehicle works as a system in daily use. Kerstner manufactures in Groß-Rohrheim, develops the CoolJet range and is part of the Lamberet Group. This combines short lines of communication with European backing.
What is made at Kerstner in Groß-Rohrheim?
Founded in 1983, Kerstner specialises in temperature-controlled transport. Solutions for vans and light commercial vehicles are produced in Groß-Rohrheim, including interior insulation, refrigeration technology, covers, add-on components and complete refrigerated vehicle conversions.
The number of components made in the factory is not what matters to customers. What matters is that planning, refrigeration and interior conversion work together. That is where the practical advantage lies.

How does the Lamberet Group help in practice?
For Kerstner, the Lamberet Group is more than an additional logo. Group membership can matter to customers in terms of international delivery capability, parts supply, network and project experience. This is particularly relevant for fleets, dealers and international customers.
Kerstner continues to operate independently in Groß-Rohrheim. The benefit lies in combining German manufacturing, a direct contact and a European network. Information about the group is available on the official Lamberet website.
What distinguishes manufacturing expertise from buying components in?
When components are not planned together, interfaces become a challenge. A refrigeration unit may be too large or too small for the insulation. The floor may not suit the cleaning process. The door solution may not be robust enough for frequent stops.
Manufacturing expertise does not mean claiming to do everything better. It means recognising the right interdependencies early. This makes the solution easier for fleet managers and dealers to explain.
Why is CoolJet an important product benefit?
CoolJet makes Kerstner refrigeration technology visible and understandable. CoolJet 103, 203, 206 and e-CoolJet 106 represent different applications. Salespeople and fleet managers can therefore explain more quickly why a range suits a particular use.
