SC AB Frigo Consult Tehnic

What SC AB Frigo Consult Tehnic does

SC AB Frigo Consult Tehnic SRL is a privately held Romanian engineering consultancy, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Bucharest (Str. Alunisului Nr. 164, Sector 4), that designs refrigeration installations and HVAC systems for the food industry. The firm delivers turnkey projects — from feasibility and technical design through engineering, construction management, and commissioning — across slaughterhouses and meat processing, cold storage for produce and flowers, industrial and commercial refrigeration for supermarkets, beverage/dairy plants, and banana ripening rooms. Its core technical differentiation is deep specialization in natural refrigerants (ammonia/NH3, CO2, propane/R290), including vapor-quality-sensor-controlled ammonia direct-expansion (DX) systems, of which the firm engineered the first frozen-goods warehouse in Europe using this architecture at Colini (Hălchiu, Brașov County).

The firm's revenue model is built on professional services: (i) engineering and design services, (ii) annual technical consulting with 24/7 support and maintenance contracts, (iii) recurring professional training courses, and (iv) thermographic inspection services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customers include Romanian enterprise names such as Transavia Bocsa (Romania's largest chicken meat producer), Agrisol, FOOD 2000, Mega Image (grocery logistics), Colini, and Agricover Peris. Distribution is exclusively direct via website-driven inbound and warm referrals from local qualified engineers; the firm runs no channel partners. The firm co-organizes the biennial NATURAL REFRIGERANTS conference with AB Tehnic Profesional SRL (equipment distributor for Romania/Moldova/Bulgaria), an event that reached its 3rd edition in March 2025 with 170+ attendees from 15+ countries — serving as a primary marketing and client-acquisition platform. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees, revenue is undisclosed, and there is no evidence of external funding or institutional ownership.
