About us
Frigel Group
Process Focused, Technology Powered
Frigel is much more than a manufacturer of cooling and temperature control systems. We are technical consultants with the ability to identify the best solution, in terms of performance, efficiency, environmental impact and to calculate the return on investment for each individual application.
Besides having full knowledge of industrial refrigeration, we also know the various aspects of the production process and, therefore, we are able to provide our customers with unique and optimized solutions for each specific application, with advanced engineering solutions and a fast and efficient technical assistance service.
We offer solutions calibrated to the needs of each customer by studying innovative solutions, carefully designed and fully supported, to obtain the best results which are verifiable in terms of productivity, efficiency, quality and precision.
Purpose
Engineering a more efficient and sustainable industry.
Vision
Be a global innovator of high performance, sustainable and quality engineered solutions for process cooling and temperature control technologies.

OUR MILESTONES --
Since 1960: innovation
and internationalization
The foundation
1960 when everything starts
Frigel Firenze is born in a small plant in Sesto Fiorentino (FI), from the beginning dedicated to designing and selling cooling systems for the industry. In the '80s it was the first company to propose heat-exchanger fluid cooling with ambient air (Ecodry), thus starting a real revolution in the sector.
Innovation
Ecodry System: the revolutionary plastic cooling system
In the early '90s Frigel, strongly believing in research and development, designs a new integrated cooling system specifically designed for the plastics industry. The Ecodry System is born, which has created a new state of the art, allowing thousands of users to obtain significant production improvements in quantitative and qualitative terms, as well as huge savings in electricity and water compared to traditional technical solutions.
Global expansion
Present on all the continents
After the creation of a global commercial network, in 2006 the development plan began with the creation of companies and production plants starting from:
- 2007 New Florence office
- 2008 Frigel North America (USA)
- 2011 Frigel Asia Pacific (Thailand)
- 2012 Frigel Latin America (Brazil)
- 2013 Frigel GmbH (Germany)
- 2017 Frigel Asia Pacific expansion
- 2018 Frigel India
- 2019 Frigel Eastern Europe Sp. Z O. O.
Total covered area 45,000 m2 (485,000 ft2)
New challenges
The group is strengthened through the integration of new businesses
In 2012, Frigel Custom Cooling Solutions S.r.l. (FCCS), operating in the production of plants, was established for refrigeration and air conditioning for the marine, oil & gas and energy sectors.
In 2014, Frigel Intelligent Energy Solutions was set up, whose object is the offer of integrated services for the realization and management of energy efficiency measures.
In 2018, Frigel took over 100% of the Paduan company Green Box S.r.l. with the aim of creating an increasingly important reference point in the industrial refrigeration and thermoregulation sector.
New sectors
Frigel's innovation conquers new industrial sectors
In 2017, the expansion project in the beverage sector is launched, thanks to an innovative evolution of the Ecodry System called synchronized cooling.
In 2018, expansion into the metals sector comes to life through a dedicated configuration of the Ecodry System for the die-casting industry.
Tomorrow
We will always believe in innovation
The knowledge acquired over the years and the confrontation with new engineering challenges will be the basis for giving continuity to the research and development of pioneering solutions and for continuing the creation of new industrial standards.
Green Box was founded in 1991 by technicians with a high level of experience in the field of industrial thermodynamic design and created a wide range of chillers and thermoregulators for controlling the temperature of water and fluids in industrial processes. The fundamental criteria of their designs are energy savings, customization, reliability over time, high efficiency, extreme ease of use, excellent accessibility to all components and modularity. Green Box researches and designs with customers solutions dedicated to their specific needs, with a goal of full and constant satisfaction and with the guarantee of both technical and commercial support services.
Our numbers
An important and constant growth during the last five years
20%
Average annual growth
The success of the innovative solutions for the Plastic and Beverage sectors, the considerable internationalization efforts pursued on four continents and the recent industrial diversification in the Marine-Oil & Gas-Energy and Metals sectors have allowed us to achieve truly important and, above all, constant growth numbers during the last five years.
The growth in the number of customers and the results obtained by them with the installation of our innovative solutions are a source of pride and great motivation for us, which pushes us to strongly support our vision of the future of industrial refrigeration and thermoregulation.
