ColdMatch Group

Better cold-chain buying starts with a better brief.

ColdMatch Group is the industrial refrigeration and cold-chain procurement platform of Global B2B Group, where commercial and industrial buyers build a project and submit an RFQ; the ColdMatch team validates and organizes it, contacts suitable refrigeration technology and equipment suppliers on the buyer's behalf, and presents organized responses through ColdMatch.

Our story

Built for decisions that last decades

Industrial refrigeration is difficult to buy well. Two quotations can use different design conditions, capacities, exclusions and energy assumptions while appearing to price the same project. The lowest headline price can become the most expensive system to own.

ColdMatch was created to give buyers a more disciplined starting point. We help define the duty, operating conditions, site constraints and commercial scope before suitable independent suppliers are researched.

The result is not an instant marketplace. It is a human-reviewed procurement path designed to make supplier proposals easier to compare and technical gaps easier to identify before a contract is signed.

Our values

The principles behind every introduction

Clarity before contact

We work to clarify product, temperature, throughput, site, power, standards, budget and delivery scope before supplier outreach.

Human judgement

Every serious request is reviewed by a person. Supplier research begins only after the project is understood.

Supplier neutrality

ColdMatch does not manufacture or resell equipment. Suppliers are considered against the buyer's stated requirements.

Comparable decisions

We structure requests so buyers can compare capacity, exclusions, energy, service, lead time and lifecycle implications—not price alone.

Clear responsibility

The selected independent supplier or EPC contractor remains responsible for engineering, delivery, installation, commissioning and warranties.

Local reality

Country, climate, power quality, logistics, compliance and service access are treated as core design inputs rather than footnotes.

What we do

Procurement support from first scope to supplier comparison

ColdMatch supports commercial and industrial projects generally from USD $250K+, while the buyer retains all final technical and commercial decisions.

What ColdMatch does not do

ColdMatch is not a manufacturer, reseller, engineering designer, installer, EPC contractor, lender or certification body. We do not guarantee prices, performance, approvals, finance or delivery. Those obligations remain with the independent parties contracted by the buyer.
