Refrigeration systems are among the most energy-intensive systems in operation. As these systems age, inefficiencies in performance can increase energy consumption and maintenance costs.

While M&A activity in the sector has slowed considerably in 2024, recent moves reflect two key themes that will likely continue when the pace of dealmaking picks up. 

As demand for cold and frozen storage surges, selecting the right racking system along with state-of-the-art pallet shuttle technology can help processors store and retrieve products more efficiently.

Technology can play an important role in combating rising energy costs by cutting consumption and helping cold chain operators identify their weak points.

A2Ls provide the HVACR industry, as well as the sectors depending on it, with solutions that significantly reduce global warming impact.

Selecting a storage and warehouse supplier is a pivotal decision that can significantly affect the operational efficiency, cost and quality assurance of a business.

This will help the firm further diversify business and support dedicated market-specific capabilities across the Americas.

The food and beverage industry is in the midst of a building boom, with dozens of new plants and cold storage facilities currently under construction.

Thank you to all those who engaged with Refrigerated & Frozen Foods and RFFmag.com in 2023.  

Circana's 2024 food and beverage outlook is cautiously optimistic.
