UK: Refrigeration an air conditioning wholesaler Climate Center has entered the market for cold rooms following the signing of an agreement with insulated panel manufacturer Kingspan.
Following the agreement, Climate Center will supply Kingspan's high quality Modular Zone range of cold rooms and freezer rooms across the UK from its nationwide network of branches.
Robert Franklin, who heads Climate Center's refrigeration business, said: 'We have always supplied coolers for cold rooms, but to date not the actual cold rooms themselves. We believe there is significant potential for supplying the full package, simplifying logistics for our customers and opening up new opportunities for the trade.'
The rooms are designed for use by caterers, hotels, restaurants, and in food retail premises such as supermarkets and delicatessens. They are also increasingly being used to house computer and telecoms servers, due to their ability to contain and manage the thermal load generated by IT equipment
Chris Arnold, head of Kingspan's Modular Box division, said: 'We are delighted to be working with Climate Center as a distributor. It provides the company's refrigeration installer customers with access to our range from a single source, with all ancillaries and refrigerant available from a one-stop-shop.'
