Frigoglass expands MENA footprint

GREECE: Commercial cooler manufacturer Frigoglass Group has formed a strategic partnership with Egyptian home appliance manufacturer Fresh SAE to expand its market in the Middle East and Africa.

As part of the partnership, Fresh will be manufacturing Frigoglass coolers at its plant in Greater Cairo. Frigoglass insists that this will ensure faster lead times, greater operational efficiency, and enhanced distribution capabilities.

Supply to the local market is expected to commence by mid-2025.

In addition to the agreement with Fresh, Frigoglass Group is in the process of establishing a Frigoserve hub in Cairo, offering asset performance services and dedicated support to customers.

Frigoglass currently operates five commercial cooler production facilities and 18 Frigoserve sales and services hubs in Europe, Asia and Africa.
