What SGS REFRIGERATION does
SGS Refrigeration is an industrial refrigeration product brand owned by SPX Cooling Tech, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: SPXC). Originally an independent manufacturer, SGS Refrigeration was acquired by SPX Cooling Technologies in July 2019 and integrated alongside the Marley and Recold brands. The brand specializes in ammonia-based industrial refrigeration equipment and serves the North American market in food processing, cold storage, and industrial manufacturing facilities.
The SGS product portfolio centers on the SGS PC Series Industrial Evaporator for air-side industrial cooling and the SGS IEC (Intermediate Capacity) Evaporative Condenser, a purge-type condenser engineered for ammonia refrigerant systems with simplified contractor installation. The brand also supplies replacement parts and components for installed SGS equipment. These products leverage evaporative cooling and closed-circuit heat transfer technologies consistent with SPX Cooling Tech's broader portfolio, which includes copper-coil fluid coolers with approximately 7X higher thermal conductivity than steel, MX crossflow film fill with integral drift eliminators reducing drift by a factor of ten or more, and a patent portfolio covering NC, MD, MHF, LW, F400, F600, and ND product lines.
SGS products are sold through SPX Cooling Tech's global distribution network of more than 150 offices, subsidiaries, and partners, with direct field sales representatives organized by geography. Revenue derives from hardware sales of new equipment, recurring aftermarket parts and replacement components, and extended service programs including inspection, repair, reconstruction, and thermal performance testing. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with engineered-to-order industrial equipment sales.
