The French leader in blast chilling and deep freezing

Company website

Founded in 1987 in Bondoufle, France, ACFRI designs, manufactures, and sells a complete range of blast-chilling, deep-freezing, crusting, stiffening, and controlled-thawing solutions. These solutions (cabinets, tunnels, and digital platforms) are primarily intended for industrial use and supermarkets, central kitchens, food services, and bakery products. ACFRI is also expanding into the healthcare sector, for applications such as human plasma preservation and the conditioning of eutectic plates (notably for vaccine transport). The Group stands out for its R&D and innovation capabilities, with internationally recognized expertise in temperature precision and uniformity, refrigerant management, and monitoring and traceability tools. The company’s products are at the cutting edge of energy efficiency and eco-design, providing a competitive advantage that is expected to strengthen with the upcoming launch of product lines that comply with upcoming regulations. With Capital Export’s support, ACFRI plans to expand internationally, particularly in several promising markets in Germany, the Middle East, and Asia.

Company leaders

ACFRI is a leader and technological pioneer in a market undergoing structural growth. Its technological advances, which already comply with future regulatory requirements (specifically the short-term ban on many refrigerants due to their environmental impact), offer a powerful competitive advantage. As concerns about safety, food quality, and health rapidly gain traction worldwide, they present ACFRI with extensive long-term export potential.
