Sonsray Fleet Services, a fast-growing, family-owned leader in transportation, construction, and agricultural equipment distribution, today announced its acquisition of Thermo King of Middletown (Middletown, NY), a premier Thermo King dealership. This strategic move significantly expands Sonsray’s East Coast presence and solidifies its position as a top nationwide provider of temperature-controlled fleet solutions.

Expanding Reach: A Coast-to-Coast Powerhouse

• With over 500 employees across 33+ locations in 9 states, Sonsray continues to scale with purpose.
• This acquisition builds on Sonsray’s Northeast expansion, following the 2023 acquisition of Thermo King Southern Connecticut and the 2021 purchase of Thermo King locations in New Jersey, Long Island, and the Bronx.
• The Middletown location bolsters Sonsray’s service network, enabling comprehensive coverage and responsive support across the Eastern Seaboard.

Why This Acquisition Matters

1. Elite Service with Speed & Precision

3. Family-Owned Values, National Standards
   • Unlike larger, impersonal corporations, Sonsray brings a hands-on, people-first approach rooted in integrity, accountability, and community.
4. Integrated Divisions, One Unified Partner, From Farm to Table
   • Sonsray Fleet Services works alongside its sister divisions to support every stage of customer operations:
