In touch with your market: storage & distribution 

So that fresh things remain fresh

What do vegetables have in common with bouquets of flowers? Both profit from our refrigeration experience during storage. With vegetables, cooling minimizes vitamin loss. Cooling prevents cut flowers from opening or wilting before reaching retailers. Refrigeration is even more important for deep-frozen food. They would become unusable if the cooling chain breaks even once on the way to the customer.

The route of products is often a long way from the producer to the destination. Systematic, effective cooling is very often absolutely essential to ensure that perishable goods and frozen foods arrive in fresh condition: at transshipment facilities, during transport, or in distribution centers. This applies to fish, meat, vegetables, and fruit – and for many other foods and beverages, including dairy products. That’s why we love our cold cheese from GEA Refrigeration Technologies – for example, from wholesale warehouses, where our refrigeration systems protect it.

 

 

 

Cold Stores

Distribution Centers & Supermarkets

Flowers

The modern market demands reasonably priced and reliable storage facilities in cold stores, purely focused on volume. GEA Refrigeration Technologies does not only supply engineering and control but also licenses, service and monitoring.

Big supermarket chains make use of enormous distribution centers (DC’s) for the storage and transfer of bulk and general goods. Cooling and freezing sections usually form an integrated part of these centers.

The increasing scale of this sector is continually imposing ever higher conditions when it comes to quality management. Our ornamental plant growers are confronted with both the requirement for refrigeration and for relative humidity.
