About Us

Your family owned, trusted Carrier dealership

Keizer Refrigeration in Sioux City, IA and Transport Refrigeration of South Dakota, in Sioux Falls, SD, are both owned by the Keizer family and are leading providers of Carrier Transicold products throughout Iowa and South Dakota.

"It's All About The People"

Keizer Refrigeration and Transport Refrigeration were founded by Jim and Jackie Keizer, industry leaders and 35 year veterans of the trucking industry, who also acquired Mid-States Utility Trailer Sales in 2001. The legacy of Jim and Jackie lasts through the next Keizer generation, with our current owners Shane Keizer and his wife Shawnie, who continue to grow our Keizer companies through innovation, investment in the training of our staff, and building strong relationships with our customers. Shane and Shawnie have seen our industry change since the early days but our motto “It’s All About The People” is as true today at our companies as it was when our founders Jim and Jackie started the business in the 1970’s. Our original values and philosophy remain as strong as ever:

• Do what is right for our customers, with honesty being an essential part of our business
• Do our best for our customers, resolve their issues quickly and seamlessly and build lasting relationships
• Treat our customers with honesty and respect at all times, the way we want to be treated
• Deliver value as a dealer, parts as well as a service supplier

With the third family generation now in the business and helping customers, our goal is now the same it was in the 1970’s - to give people the best products at the best value, and to match it with fast, exceptional service.
