Frigoglass Announces Production of First Commercial Cooler in Egypt

Following the strategic partnership with Fresh SAE the production and distribution of commercial coolers in the MENA region has strongly commenced.

Athens, June 12, 2025 – Frigoglass Group, a leading producer of high-quality commercial coolers and glass packaging solutions, is excited to announce the production of its first commercial cooler from its new production line in Egypt. This milestone marks a significant step in the company's growth strategy in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

The inaugural cooler, a Coca-Cola unit bearing serial number 0001, symbolically seals the commencement of operations at the new facility. This new production line for Frigoglass's commercial cooling solutions, a collaboration with Fresh, is now fully operational in Cairo. Fresh Electric is a highly reputable Egyptian home appliance manufacturer with nearly 40 years of experience.

This important achievement follows the strategic partnership announced in October 2024, which initiated Frigoglass's local production at Fresh's facilities. This collaboration allows Frigoglass to serve a market of over 100 million people in Egypt and the rapidly expanding MENA region. Local production in Egypt ensures faster delivery times, enhanced operational flexibility, and more efficient distribution, meeting the increasing demands of customers in this strategically vital geographical area.

Serge Joris, CEO of Frigoglass Group, stated: "In less than seven months, we've managed to turn an ambitious plan into a reality. We are strong advocates of meaningful synergies and are incredibly proud that, with Fresh's invaluable support, we've successfully brought the first commercial cooler to the region. This isn't just a new product launch; it's a significant step towards realizing our strategic vision. Local production brings Frigoglass closer to its customers, offering innovative and energy-efficient solutions with greater speed and flexibility."

Ramy Mounir, CEO of Fresh S.A.E.'s Cooling Sector and a member of the Frigoglass Group Board, commented: "The start of production is a truly momentous occasion for all of us. With our extensive experience and the support of our team in Egypt, we are thrilled to contribute to Frigoglass's successful entry into the local market, with dedication and a continuous commitment to quality.”

Frigoglass's future plans also include establishing a new Frigoserve hub in Cairo offering Asset Performance Services and dedicated support to customers across the broader region. With five best-in-class production facilities and 18 Frigoserve centers across Europe, Asia, and Africa, Frigoglass continues to strengthen its international presence, bringing innovative solutions closer to its customers.
