Preferred Contract Vendor for Laboratory Relocation Services provided by TheCryoGuys

Hilary and Mike Tomasek first entered the transportation industry in 2000 as truck drivers.  By 2002 Hilary's business management background together with Mike's electronic engineering and electrical field service background had led them to the unique niche of bioscience transportation.   This initial experience came in the form of an exclusive contract to operate a bioscience relocation truck for a globally recognized freight expediter.  Due to Mike’s technical background, his job responsibility was expanded to include general repair of proprietary systems, research and implementation of new technologies.    TheCryoGuys was launched in 2005 when opportunity arose for Hilary and Mike to purchase assets and processes relating to cryogenic freezer relocation from the company they had been contracted to. Since 2005, TheCryoGuys have dramatically increased scope and quality of the service portfolio they inherited and have solidified relationships with many industry partners.   Today, TheCryoGuys operate out of a 6000 sq. ft. facility in Northeast Texas and continue to expand their fleet as demand grows.  Their services are available both direct to customers and through several industry partners who bundle TheCryoGuys services with their own.
