What IRINOX does

IRINOX S.p.A. is an Italian industrial manufacturer founded in 1989 and headquartered in Corbanese (province of Treviso), operating three autonomous business units: Irinox Professional (multi-functional rapid blast chillers, roll-in blast chillers, and holding cabinets for the food service industry); Irinox Home (built-in and freestanding blast chillers, vacuum sealers, wine cabinets, and water dispensers for residential kitchens); and IRINOX Electrical Enclosures (customized stainless steel enclosures, including the EKO.HY hygienic line, for industrial customers in food & beverage, pharmaceutical, transport, chemical, naval, oil & gas, and energy sectors). The company's flagship technology is rapid temperature blast chilling across an operating range from +85°C to -40°C, commercialized under the MultiFresh brand for professionals and the Freddy/Fresco line for consumers. All production is carried out in Italy at facilities on the outskirts of Treviso.

IRINOX monetizes primarily through one-time hardware sales across its three business units, distributed via a hybrid channel mix: direct commercial branches in Germany, France, the United States, Dubai, and Singapore handle enterprise field sales; an authorized dealer network and Technical Assistance Centres provide regional coverage and after-sales service; and irinoxhome.com sells directly to consumers with free shipping over €100 and 14-day returns. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Recurring revenue is generated through after-sales services, spare parts, warranty programs, and the FreshCloud® IoT platform subscription, which connects professional equipment for real-time HACCP cycle management, remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and usage analytics, accessible via mobile apps on iOS and Android.

The company is privately held and family-controlled, with Katia Da Ros serving as Vice President and CEO and Diego Rocco as CFO. It became a Benefit Corporation in October 2022 and a certified B Corp in April 2026, and has set a Climate Positive by 2040 roadmap supported by 100% renewable energy usage, 1.764 MWp of installed photovoltaic capacity, and a €3 million sustainable growth loan from Intesa Sanpaolo. R&D is concentrated in the EU co-funded FRE.VI, FRED.ED, VIS.IO, and IRPEM projects (2024), which embed AI, machine learning, IoT, and blockchain into the FreshCloud platform for food traceability, energy estimation, predictive maintenance, and a digital product passport. The company exports more than 50% of its production to 85 countries.
