ARTIC INDUSTRIE

What ARTIC INDUSTRIE does

ARTIC INDUSTRIE SAS is a French industrial refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment manufacturer headquartered in Le Bignon (Loire-Atlantique), operating from a 3,000 m² workshop with 24-ton and 32-ton overhead cranes. The company designs, engineers, and assembles custom-built chillers, heat pumps, outdoor liquid coolers, low-temperature CO2 units, CO2 liquefaction units, compression groups, and modular containerized refrigeration units, integrating compressors from MAYEKAWA MYCOM, BITZER, HOWDEN, BOCK, and HALL. Core technology relies on natural refrigerants (ammonia NH3 and CO2), with proprietary designs including the ACPA Série Air outdoor cooler (micro-channel condensers, up to 3x volume reduction vs. traditional condensers) and the Remote Operator PC/Smartphone remote monitoring application. ARTIC INDUSTRIE is the exclusive representative of MAYEKAWA MYCOM in France and operates a wholly-owned Moroccan agency, ARTIC MYCOM, covering Morocco, Algeria, Senegal, and Côte d'Ivoire.

The company sells primarily via a direct, sales-led enterprise field-sales model with three regional commercial managers covering France and a dedicated technico-commercial in Morocco. Customer segments are frigoristes, logistics/cold-storage operators, agro-food processors, industrial process operators, and compressor integrators, with named references including SOMADIR, ALPIQ, ENGIE AXIMA, CEMAFROID, VINCI, and DIRAFROST. Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales augmented by a tiered recurring service portfolio (Formulas 1-6) covering warranty extension, annual maintenance, oil analysis, spare parts kits, on-demand repair, and operator training, plus proprietary automation support during the warranty period. Manufacturing is anchored by wholly-owned subsidiary Chaudronnerie Technique Nantaise-Industrie (CTN), which produces 350 CE-certified chaudronnés units annually (100mm-4000mm diameter) and holds the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) label, while equipment is certified to DESP 2014/68/EU.
