As a company, we follow three guiding principles
1
Efficiency
We aim to provide transporters with the most efficient form of cargo climate control on the market, keeping products fresh during door openings and preventing energy loss at the most vulnerable stage of the cold chain.
2
Convenience
BlueSeal air curtains allow drivers make deliveries without obstruction by creating an invisible but effective method of climate control that does not hinder the driver in their daily operation.
3
Sustainability
We believe that commercial transport can coexist with climate goals. Our technology is designed to actively promote cleaner, sustainable methods of temperature-controlled transport and distribution.
The History of Brightec
2005
Conception
The idea of an air curtain for vehicles is first suggested as a method of saving energy for a zero-emission refrigerated truck concept at Econcern in the Netherlands.
2006
Prototype
Econcern R&D, led by Dr. Hans Opdam, run first performance tests on the air curtain which yield positive results. A prototype is created for a mobile air curtain.
2010
Company forms
Following the bankruptcy of Econcern, co-inventor and patent holder Dr. Hans Opdam buys all rights to the mobile air curtain, forms the company Brightec and designs BlueSeal air curtain version 1 (Original).
2010 to present
Patents filed
Brightec files five patents for BlueSeal air curtains, based on the results of product optimisation from their R&D team.
2017
BlueSeal Compact
Brightec introduces the first BlueSeal Compact model to the range to cater for smaller vehicles without compromising on loading height. Several updates and developments have been made to the Compact Model in the years since.
2019
Energy saving study
BlueSeal receives independent testing by the Centre for Sustainable Energy Use in Food Chains (CSEF) at Brunel University, who identify impressive energy savings of 45% in their 18-tonne truck model when recovering cargo temperature, and 30% in a small box truck.
2019
Collaboration
Through a collaborative project with leading French bodybuilder Lamberet, BlueSeal Customs is formed to produce an air curtain for an integrated shutter door, which is debuted Solutrans on Lamberet’s Distri+ trailer.
2022
BlueControl
Brightec launches the BlueControl module for BlueSeal air curtains, a peripheral device that encourages drivers to minimise the duration of door openings, leading to greater product preservation and reduced fuel consumption.
2024
Thermo King
Brightec partners with Thermo King to offer exclusive distribution of BlueSeal air curtains to the US and Canada through their exclusive dealership network
