Last week (4 August), one of Europe’s leading refrigeration suppliers, the Italian company Pastorfrigor, acquired a majority share in Delta Refrigeration.

The new company will be called Pastorfrigor GB Limited and two new directors will join Simon Robinson, Darren Brown and Julie Robinson on the company board: Davide Montina from Pastorfrigor SPA and Roman Visnovsky of Pastorkalt A.S, one of the group owned companies.

Simon Robinson will remain as managing director and Darren Brown will stay as operations director.

Pastorfrigor GB Ltd will move into new, state-of-the-art offices and warehousing in White Roding near Great Dunmow, Essex, this month. The new company home will have a showroom, state of the art office space and three dedicated warehouses.

Simon Robinson said: “Our deal with Pastorfrigor will bring us a huge opportunity to see some real growth into new areas, as Pastorfrigor has a fantastic range of equipment.

“The Pastorfrigor and Pastorkalt brands have always been well known in the UK. Now, though, the Group will have a direct presence here for the first time since the successful early years of the former Pastorfrigor UK.

 “As Pastorfrigor GB, we will sell both Pastorfrigor and Pastorkalt cabinets via existing UK partners and directly to end-users,” he added.
