Hubbard appointed Friulinox distributor

UK: Hubbard Systems has been appointed as the UK distributor for the range of specialist refrigeration products from Italian manufacturer Friulinox.

Founded in 1972, Friulinox is based in Taiedo in the province of Pordenone, north east of Venice. The company’s range includes refrigeration equipment designed for a variety of catering and foodservice businesses, along with specialist equipment designed for the needs of bakeries, ice cream parlours, pizzerias, butchers and fishmongers.

Hubbard Systems will offer a wide variety of Friulinox models, including cabinets and counters, blast chillers, worktop and undercounter units in a range of sizes.

As a subsidiary of the Ali Group, Friulinox shares the same owner as Scotsman, the range of ice makers also distributed in the UK by Hubbard.

“The synergy between the Scotsman and Friulinox brands is a natural fit, and allows Hubbard to offer a one-stop-shop of high quality refrigeration equipment and ice makers,” commented Hubbard Systems MD Pete Gray. 

“We’re committed to offering the same high level of stock levels and after-sales care for the Friulinox range as we do for our Scotsman portfolio, including technical support and a stock of spare parts for all models manufactured in the last ten years.”
