Hussmann and Refra form partnership

Hussmann, a Panasonic company, has announced a strategic partnership with Refra for the exclusive supply of the latter’s refrigeration systems in the Australian market.

The companies say the collaboration will focus on transcritical CO₂ racks, chillers and R290 heat pump technologies. As part of the partnership, Hussmann says it aims to enhance its offerings in the realm of sustainable refrigeration by incorporating technologies that promote energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.

“We are excited to partner with Refra, a leader in refrigeration technology, to bring these advanced systems to Australia,” says Vinney Kumar, Deputy MD, GM Australia & Business Development Director Hussmann Oceania.

Refra says it embarked on a transformative journey 10 years ago, redefining its production practices by incorporating natural refrigerants into its manufacturing process. The company says 84% of its production now uses CO₂ or propane.

“Our partnership with Hussmann represents a significant milestone – not only in Refra’s growth, but also in driving the refrigeration market toward a more sustainable and environmentally responsible industry,” says Aleksej Pavšukov, CEO of Refra.

“Our mission to deliver innovative, green refrigeration solutions now extends into one of the industry’s leading corporations, reinforcing our commitment to a sustainable future.”
