GEA has merged its UK refrigeration businesses, GEA Eurotek, GEA Grasso Holdings, GEA Refrigeration Components and GEA Grenco, into one comany.
The new company, GEA Refrigeration UK Ltd, will be headquartered in Sittingbourne and will encompass the activities of the freezer segment, Grasso refrigeration systems and heat pumps, the sector- and customer-specific solutions of the former Grenco team, as well as refrigeration components and service.

Ken Reed, the new president sales of GEA Refrigeration UK, said, 'Merging these fields of activity strengthens our competence and simplifies major projects in which, for example, both central refrigeration facilities as well as freezers are required for the same project. Our customers will profit from services on a one-stop basis: beginning with planning, including installation and commissioning, and extending to preventive and restorative maintenance.'

GEA says the new business will offer a unified sales organization, but contact partners will remain the same so that existing customers can still deal with the people they are already familiar with.
