Industrial refrigeration is the plant behind everything that has to stay cold at scale: cold stores, food processing, chemicals, ice rinks and process cooling. The systems are large, long-lived and unforgiving, and a decision made once runs for twenty years. Refindustry covers what is being built and refitted: daily news, case studies with the figures their owners reported, and interviews with the people responsible.
