12,000 m³ seafood cold storage & blast freezer — Vietnam

An export-grade seafood processor needed a multi-temperature facility combining IQF tunnels, blast freezers and long-term storage to meet EU/Japan buyer requirements.

Da Nang, Vietnam 12,000 m³ −25 °C storage, −40 °C blast

Challenge

  • Existing facility could not blast-freeze shrimp fast enough for export specs.
  • Energy costs rising 14% year-on-year on R22 plant nearing end-of-life.
  • HACCP and BRCGS audit gaps on temperature traceability.

ColdMatch solution

  • ColdMatch sourced 3 shortlisted EPCs from Korea, Italy and Vietnam.
  • Selected NH₃/CO₂ cascade plant with IoT monitoring (logger + cloud).
  • Phased construction allowed processing to continue during build.
ColdMatch handled the EPC tender across three countries — the savings paid for the upgrade in under four years.
