What Galxc Cooling Services does

GalxC Cooling Services Limited is a UK-based specialist chiller and temperature control provider founded in 2006 in Southampton, operating nationally through its headquarters and a Midlands regional office in Leicester. The company sells, hires, leases, designs, installs, commissions, and services industrial process cooling and HVAC building services equipment for customers across manufacturing, healthcare, food retail, food manufacturing, chemicals, plastics, brewing, data centres, and telecoms. Its offering spans chillers from 4kW to multi-megawatt packages, heat pumps, air handling units, CRAC units, cooling towers, ambient coolers, free cooling systems, and heat recovery solutions, complemented by ancillary equipment such as pump and tank sets, glycol anti-freeze systems, and temperature controllers.

The company is the main UK distributor for Italian manufacturer Galletti Group, a relationship in place for over 10 years, granting access to Eurovent-certified product ranges including the MPE, PLP, V-IPER, WLE, WRE, Evitec-H, and LCC series. GalxC was an early UK adopter of R290 propane hydrocarbon refrigerant technology (from 2011, with first prototype chillers in 2012) and offers low-GWP product lines using R290, R1234ze, R454B, and R513A. Technical differentiators cited include inverter-scroll compressor technology, multi-scroll configurations, free cooling with adiabatic integration, heat recovery, and BMS-compatible controls, supported by partnerships with Cool Gauge (glycol monitoring) and Moorgate Finance (leasing).

Revenue is generated through five streams: one-time equipment sales, usage-based hire/rental, 3-5 year recurring chiller leasing, recurring service and 24/7 maintenance contracts, and professional services for design, installation, and commissioning. Pricing is fully custom with no public list prices; the go-to-market is sales-led via a UK technical sales team and complemented by channel partners (mechanical contractors, refrigeration clients, and consultants). The customer base includes NHS, Lidl, Waitrose, Nestle, and other enterprise and mid-market accounts across multiple verticals. GalxC holds ISO 9001, Eurovent, F-Gas, REFCOM, CHAS, Safe Contractor, Citation, RESET, and GDPR compliance credentials, and is privately held with no disclosed external funding or parent company.
