What freezing temperature is needed for tuna?

Sashimi-grade tuna typically requires super-freezing at −55 to −60°C to lock color and quality. Standard commercial tuna and whitefish use blast freezing at −35 to −40°C.

Do you source ice plants as well as freezers?

Yes — flake, tube and block ice plants are sourced alongside blast freezers and cold storage so processors get one benchmarked package.

Is the equipment compliant for EU seafood export?

Yes. Designs and documentation are compatible with EU export approval, HACCP and MSC chain-of-custody requirements.

How matching works

ColdMatch helps buyers prepare cold chain RFQs and source suitable suppliers.

Directory pages are for discovery and SEO. ColdMatch is not an automatic marketplace and does not directly connect buyers with refrigeration manufacturers — supplier matching and introductions are managed manually by ColdMatch.

1. You submit a cold room, cold storage, industrial refrigeration, pharma cold chain, food logistics or mobile cold room request.
2. ColdMatch reviews your request and prepares the project brief — temperature range, product type, country, size, budget and operational needs.
3. Only after the brief is understood, ColdMatch searches for suitable suppliers.
4. David continues with you personally and introduces suppliers only when relevant.

Supplier and manufacturer listings are provided for research, transparency and discovery only. ColdMatch Group does not provide automatic buyer-supplier introductions. Every cold chain project request is reviewed manually by David / ColdMatch Group, and supplier introductions are made only after internal approval.
