A hugely successful launch indicates an equally positive debut
REFCOLD INDIA got launched on January 10 at The Hyatt Regency in Ahmedabad and got an impressive turnout of over 300 professionals and veterans from the industry. The launch show generated a very encouraging response, with industry leaders confirming their partnership. Some of the allies already on board are:

Carrier Commercials as the Curtain Raiser Partner
Emerson as the Awards Night Partner
Natural Storage Solutions Pvt. Ltd. as the Cold Chain Solutions Partner
Volga Freeze as the Gold Partner

Confirming the above associations, Mr. Pankaj Dharkar, Chairman of REFCOLD INDIA excitedly mentioned, “We are thrilled to have finally launched REFCOLD INDIA. The Refrigeration & Cold Chain industry in India needed a symposium where the focus would lie solely on this sector. From its debut year itself, REFCOLD INDIA would cover all aspects of the industry, which mainly are – the resources (cold chain services), the process (cold transportation & equipment) and the products (cold storage & equipment). I welcome all associates, partners, visitors and media to this promising platform and I am confident that it would help us take the industry to the next level of knowledge and business exchange”.

In global terms also, the Cold Chain Industry in India is developing at a much faster pace, owing to the general change in the business outlook. While earlier, the focus at all times would be on increasing the production level, the market now is concerned about optimizations in terms of better storage and transportation facilities for their respective commodities. Hence, Cold Chain management has now become an integral part of the supply chain industry comprising of refrigerated storage and refrigerated transportation. This makes it essential for all businesses to invest in infrastructure that should help reduce wastage. With this promise and prospect, the cold chain industry in India is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 19% during the period of 2017-2022.

“As a country, India is much ready for a consortium of this level which shall be the launch-pad for potential business-enabling collaborations, as well as the live resource pool and aggregation of Cold Chain products, services and solutions”, Mr. Vishal Kapur, ISHRAE National President expressed his enthusiasm with this event. “I am absolutely convinced that REFCOLD INDIA in November 2018 will be a greatly successful show that would leave a mark on the Refrigeration & Cold Chain market in India”, said Mr. Kapur.
