Cold Store Solutions

Cold store design starts from the stored product's temperature regime — chilled (0–8°C) for fresh produce and dairy, frozen (down to -25°C) for general frozen goods, or blast-freeze duty (as low as -35°C) for rapid product freezing — which sets the insulated panel thickness (typically 100–200 mm PU/PIR core), refrigeration capacity and door/dock configuration. Structures use insulated sandwich panels on a supporting steel frame, with refrigeration plant sized to the room volume, product loading pattern and ambient design temperature — a critical calculation for Gulf and African sites where ambient temperatures significantly increase the refrigeration load compared with temperate climates. Distribution-centre-scale cold stores add dock levellers, multi-temperature zoning and racking-compatible floor specification.

Food processing and distribution operations are the primary users of cold store solutions, from single-room chilled storage at a processing plant to multi-zone distribution centres serving a regional supply chain. Agricultural exporters use cold rooms and blast freezers to extend produce shelf life and meet export-market cold-chain requirements. Pharmaceutical and healthcare logistics operators specify temperature-controlled storage for vaccine and medicine distribution, and hospitality and retail food operations use smaller cold rooms for on-site storage.

We supply insulated panels and refrigeration equipment sized to the room specification, shipped for container transport and site assembly, with installation guidance or supervision available. This is a particularly relevant capability across Africa, where cold-chain infrastructure gaps directly limit agricultural export value — we quote against required temperature regime, room volume and ambient design condition for the specific destination site.
