Epta acquires Portuguese refrigeration contractor

PORTUGAL: Commercial refrigeration group Epta has acquired Eurocold, a Portuguese commercial and industrial refrigeration engineering, installation and maintenance services company. 

Based in Porto, with branches in Lisbon and Portimão, Eurocold is seen as a key player in the market with consolidated partnerships with the main retailer brands. In addition to Portugal, the company also operates in Morocco and the Azores. 

“Portugal takes on a strategic importance for Epta due to the high domestic demand for green technologies,” commented Epta International general manager Massimo Marcer. “The Group will now be able to fulfil such need through sustainable, turn-key projects. This operation will allow us to increase our market presence in Portugal, where Costan and Bonnet Névé brands already boast great notoriety.”
