Trusted Partner for Ford Pro Converter Vehicles

Ballinlough Refrigeration is proud to announce that it has officially been recognised as a Ford Pro Converter partner. We are recognised as the first company in Ireland to achieve this prestigious certification, reinforcing our reputation as a trusted partner in refrigerated vehicle conversions.  This recognition comes as part of a rigorous European-wide programme that certifies only the most accomplished vehicle converters — with just 210 organisations across Europe earning this status to date. This new accreditation marks an important milestone in Ballinlough’s continued commitment to quality, safety, and customer-focused innovation.

The award was formally presented to Joe Malone, Managing Director, and Neil Jordan, Operations Manager of Ballinlough Refrigeration by Mandy Deane, Commercial Vehicles Director at Ford of Britain & Ireland. It marks a major milestone in Ballinlough’s journey to deliver best-in-class service to our clients in the transport refrigeration sector.

 

What Is a Ford Pro Converter?

The Ford Pro Converter programme is Ford’s official approval scheme for vehicle conversion specialists. It’s designed to give customers peace of mind that any modifications made to Ford commercial vehicles are carried out to the highest possible standard. Only companies that pass a stringent assessment of their engineering processes, manufacturing practices, and quality assurance systems are granted this status.

For businesses relying on temperature-controlled transport, this accreditation is especially important. Poorly executed conversions can compromise vehicle safety, performance, and reliability — all of which are critical when transporting perishable or sensitive goods. As a Ford Pro Converter, Ballinlough ensures that all vehicle adaptations are fully compatible with Ford systems and maintain the integrity of the original vehicle design.

This means every van conversion is built not just to industry standards, but to Ford’s own high expectations. In addition, Ford Pro Converters benefit from direct technical support and vehicle testing data, both of which translate into added value and reliability for the end user.

How It Enhances Ballinlough’s Refrigeration Services

With decades of experience in transport refrigeration, Ballinlough already has a strong reputation for reliable and professional service. The new Ford accreditation further underlines our technical ability and dedication to meet evolving customer needs.

Becoming a Ford Pro Converter brings several practical benefits for customers:

  • Peace of mind that all conversions meet strict Ford Pro standards
  • Full vehicle compatibility with advanced Ford systems

This recognition strengthens Ballinlough’s collaboration with Ford, giving customers added confidence that their refrigerated conversions are supported by trusted processes, technical expertise, and direct access to Ford’s quality framework.
