Over the past few years, the Indian refrigeration equipment market is witnessing an upward growth trajectory. The rising demand for Dairy, frozen & chilled products among consumers, evolving lifestyle, rapid urbanization and growth in the retail sector including an increasing number of hypermarkets and supermarkets are some of the factors projected to create a significant growth backdrop for this market.

The current transport and work force bottlenecks encountered are boosting the use of cold supply chain and temperature-controlled warehouses utilized for handling pharmaceuticals, perishable foods, agro produce and dairy products. While the market continues to maintain its fluidity, there are various market segments and user types that have their own set of unique requirements. Customers demand high performance while simultaneously seeking service that transcends their expectations. A highly skilled cooling solutions
