Afrigel Ouest

What Afrigel Ouest does

Afrigel Ouest SA is a privately held mechanical engineering company headquartered in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, operating as the African distribution and solutions arm of Lebanon-based Farjallah Holding. The company supplies and integrates refrigeration, cold-storage, air-handling, fire-protection, and insulation systems to commercial, industrial, cold-chain/warehousing, and building-and-construction customers across West Africa. Its product portfolio spans commercial and industrial refrigeration (evaporators, compressors, condensing units, ammonia chillers, ice banks), modular cold-room assembly with cold-storage doors, insulated panels and thermal/acoustic insulation (including Kingspan QuadCore and Thermobreak technologies), passive fire-protection materials (Promat), valves and copper tubes (Danfoss, Halcor, Elkhart), warehousing systems (Stow racking, Dynaco rapid doors, Loading Systems dock equipment), and renewable-energy and heat-recovery solutions (Q-Cells PV, hybrid inverters). Technology is delivered primarily through distribution and integration of premium international principals rather than proprietary R&D.

The business operates four service lines layered on top of equipment supply: engineering design and project management, contracting and installation, reactive and preventive maintenance, and supply-chain consultancy with 20+ years of specialist experience. Revenue is generated from one-time equipment sales and installation, project-based professional services, a recurring maintenance layer, and spare-parts supply, with project-based pricing quoted against specifications rather than standardized public pricing. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, executed through the Abidjan office with website-driven top-of-funnel engagement, WhatsApp/phone/email bottom-of-funnel contact, and referral leverage from the Farjallah Holding network and brand-partner channels. The entity was established in 2013 specifically to serve the African market, complementing group subsidiaries in Lebanon, Qatar, UAE, and Greece, and carries 77 years of cumulative brand heritage through the Farjallah family. No public financials, institutional investors, or headcount figures are disclosed; the company is family-controlled under Farjallah Holding S.A.L.
