CFCI sees big potential in cold-chain industry in PH

Centro Nippon Fruehauf Cooltech Inc. (CFCI) has reiterated the strong potential of the cold chain industry in the Philippines, saying that there is a significant spike in demand for it.

The company, which offers refrigerated van bodies under the brand Cooltech, shared that there has been an increase in demand over the past few years due to the rising need for temperature-controlled transport of perishable goods such as food products like fruits, vegetables, meat, and dairy products.

According to a report by Allied Market Research, the global cold chain market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.9 percent from 2021 to 2028. The growth, CFCI stated in a press release, is largely attributed to the growing demand for processed food, technological advancements in the cold chain industry, and the increasing need for temperature-controlled logistics in developing countries.

With that, CFCI shared that it produces quality refrigerated van bodies that are designed to meet the specific needs of the cold chain industry — ensuring that the products being transported are kept at the required temperature throughout the journey.

In addition, Cooltech’s aforementioned offerings are equipped with advanced cooling technology that maintains the temperature inside the vehicle — even during extreme weather conditions.

CFCI noted that it has invested in state-of-the-art equipment and technology to ensure that its refrigerated van bodies are of the highest quality, with strict quality control measures in place to ensure that each unit meets the highest standards.

“The potential of the cold chain industry in the Philippines is immense, and we are committed to meeting the growing demand for temperature-controlled transport solutions. Our Cooltech brand is designed to provide high-quality and reliable refvan bodies that meet the specific needs of the cold chain industry, ensuring that perishable goods are transported at the required temperature throughout the journey,” to CFCI Plant Manager Edd Nieva said

"We understand the importance of after-sales service and support, which is why we provide regular maintenance checks, repairs, and replacement of parts to ensure that our ref van bodies are operating at their optimal level. Our focus on quality and customer service has helped us build a strong reputation in the industry, and we are well-positioned to lead the way in providing reliable and high-quality solutions to meet the demands of the cold chain industry in the Philippines," he added.

Aside from producing high-quality refrigerated van bodies, CFCI also takes pride in its quality after-sales service and support to customers. The initiative covers regular maintenance checks, repairs, and replacement of parts to make sure that their refrigerated van bodies are operating at their optimal level. “This commitment to customer service has helped the company build a strong reputation in the industry, with many satisfied customers across the Philippines,” the company noted.

To note, CFCI is a joint venture between truck body builder Centro Manufacturing Corporation and Nippon Fruehauf Ltd., one of the biggest truck body builders and wing van manufacturers in Japan.
