COOLING AFRICA SINCE 1998
Built in South Africa. Trusted Across Africa.
Africhill has been designing, manufacturing and delivering commercial and industrial cold-storage solutions since 1998.
From our manufacturing facility in Bredell, Kempton Park, Gauteng, we manufacture insulated panels and custom cold rooms and freezer rooms, supported by refrigeration systems designed around the requirements of each application.
From individual commercial cold rooms to large industrial cold-storage projects, Africhill brings design, manufacturing, refrigeration and installation capability together under one roof.
OUR STORY
Cooling Africa Since 1998
Africhill was established in 1998 with a focus on commercial refrigeration and cold-storage solutions.
Over more than 25 years, the business has developed into an integrated manufacturer and supplier of insulated panels, cold rooms, freezer rooms and refrigeration systems.
Today, Africhill operates from Bredell, Kempton Park, Gauteng, supplying commercial and industrial cold-storage projects throughout South Africa and across Africa.
Our experience ranges from individual commercial installations to large industrial facilities requiring custom room configurations, multiple temperature areas and purpose-designed refrigeration systems.

THE AFRICHILL DIFFERENCE
We Don’t Just Install Cold Rooms. We Manufacture Them.
A major difference between Africhill and many refrigeration contractors is our manufacturing capability.
Our Bredell manufacturing facility brings insulated-panel production, refrigeration expertise, fabrication, assembly and project preparation together within one operation.
Manufacturing our own insulated panels gives Africhill greater control over room dimensions, insulation specifications, production and custom project requirements.
Cold rooms and freezer rooms can therefore be manufactured around the application and available space rather than being restricted to standard room dimensions.

FROM OUR FACTORY TO YOUR PROJECT
Manufactured, Prepared and Ready for Delivery
Once Africhill’s insulated panels have been manufactured, they are handled, stacked and prepared for the next stage of the project.
From our Bredell manufacturing facility, completed panels and cold-room components are prepared for transport to project sites across South Africa and Africa.
Manufacturing is only the beginning. The finished system still needs to arrive on site ready for efficient installation.
HOW WE DELIVER
From Design to Installation
Africhill combines design, manufacturing, delivery and installation capability to take a cold-storage project from the initial requirement through to installation on site.
1. Design
The cold-storage solution is planned around the product, required temperature, product load, room dimensions, operating conditions and project requirements.
2. Manufacture
Insulated panels and custom cold and freezer rooms are manufactured at Africhill’s South African facility around the requirements of the project.
3. Deliver
Cold-room components and refrigeration equipment are prepared for delivery with the destination, transport requirements and installation sequence in mind.
4. Install
Professional installation is available according to the project scope, with the room and refrigeration system brought together as one completed cold-storage solution.
COMPLETE COLD-STORAGE CAPABILITY
One Company. One Complete Cold-Storage Solution.
Behind those four project stages is the broader manufacturing, refrigeration and technical capability required to deliver commercial and industrial cold storage.
Design & Engineering
Cold-storage systems specified around the product, required temperature, product load, room dimensions and operating conditions.
Insulated Panel Manufacturing
Insulated wall and ceiling panels manufactured by Africhill in South Africa.
Cold & Freezer Rooms
Commercial and industrial rooms custom manufactured around the application and available space.
Refrigeration Systems
Refrigeration equipment selected and designed around the required cooling duty and operating conditions.
Delivery & Installation
Cold-storage systems prepared for delivery with professional installation available according to project requirements.
Commissioning & Support
Refrigeration systems commissioned for operation with technical and after-sales support available according to the project scope.
REFRIGERATION CAPABILITY
Refrigeration Equipment to Match the Cold Room
Africhill’s capability extends beyond insulated-panel manufacturing and cold-room construction. Refrigeration equipment forms an essential part of the complete temperature-controlled system.
Condensing units, evaporators and other refrigeration equipment are selected around the required temperature, product load, room size, ambient conditions and operating requirements of the project.
This allows Africhill to bring the insulated enclosure and refrigeration system together as one complete cold-storage solution rather than treating them as separate components.
ENGINEERED FOR THE APPLICATION
Cold Storage Is More Than Four Walls and a Refrigeration Unit
Two cold rooms of exactly the same dimensions can require very different refrigeration systems.
Africhill considers what is being stored, incoming product temperature, required storage temperature, daily product load, pull-down requirements, door openings, ambient conditions and the operating environment before the refrigeration system is selected.
PRODUCT → TEMPERATURE → PRODUCT LOAD → ROOM SIZE → AMBIENT CONDITIONS → REFRIGERATION DESIGN
A room designed simply to hold already-chilled or frozen product can require a very different refrigeration duty from a room required to cool or freeze incoming product.
Designed for the product. Engineered for the conditions. Manufactured by Africhill.
ENGINEERING INPUTS
✓
What needs to be stored or cooled?
✓
What operating conditions must be maintained?
✓
How much product enters the room and at what temperature?
✓
Ambient conditions, access and room usage influence the refrigeration design.
AFRICAN EXPERIENCE
Made in South Africa. Built for Africa.
Africhill manufactures cold-storage solutions in South Africa and has supplied projects throughout Southern Africa and into East, Central and West Africa, as well as Indian Ocean markets.
Operating conditions across Africa can vary significantly. High ambient temperatures, remote project locations, electrical supply, transport distances, installation requirements and long-term serviceability can all influence the correct refrigeration solution.
Africhill’s experience across African markets allows these practical project conditions to be considered from the design stage.
The right refrigeration solution starts with understanding where it will operate.
