General Marine's History

General Marine Refrigeration Corporation is a third generation family owned business in the field of marine refrigeration and air conditioning. After sailing for years as a Chief Engineer, founder William F. Anderson started General Refrigeration Company Inc., in 1925. This Swedish immigrant worked diligently to give excellent and experienced service to his customers. He instilled these honest, hard-working principles in all his employees. To better serve the growing marine community of the Delaware River, General Marine Refrigeration Corporation was established in 1947. In 1969, Viking Supply Corporation was created to provide air conditioning and refrigeration equipment suitable for marine use.

General Marine has responded to the ever-changing marine and refrigeration markets. Our experience includes engineering, system design, equipment selection and supply, installation, start-up and service for all types of air conditioning and refrigeration systems. This service is performed on board sea-going vessels, tankers, bulk cargo and container ships, naval and coast guard vessels, tugs and barges. Equipped with a well-trained staff of certified mechanics, a complete fleet of service vehicles and a large warehouse of inventory, General Marine Refrigeration Corporation operate on a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week basis.
