Build a supplier-ready cold-chain RFQ in 6 minutes.
One structured brief. Reviewed by our team, matched against technically relevant refrigeration suppliers. Free for buyers.
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.

What to include and how quotes are matched
A good RFQ takes ~6 minutes. The more precise your inputs, the more comparable the quotes you'll get back.
Category, industry, country and site. Tells suppliers what you're actually building and where — climate, permits and logistics all depend on it.
Storage volume (m³ / pallets / tons), daily in-out throughput and annual production. Drives refrigeration load, racking and MHE sizing.
Storage temperature bands, product mix and humidity targets. Determines refrigerant strategy (NH₃, CO₂, HFO) and envelope class.
Indicative budget range and whether you need financing. Lets us match suppliers and financing partners at the right project tier.
Target commissioning date and current project stage (concept, FEED, tender, ready-to-build). Filters suppliers who can actually deliver in your window.
What you need: equipment only, EPC turnkey, engineering, installation, maintenance. Prevents mismatched quotes.
- Your RFQ is normalised and translated into English for global distribution.
- We shortlist qualified manufacturers, EPC contractors and financing partners by category, capacity, country and project tier.
- Suppliers receive a structured brief — not your contact details — and submit comparable, apples-to-apples quotes.
- After internal review and supplier research, you get a neutral comparison of the offers received, with pricing, lead time, references and technical notes. The number of offers depends on the project, country and supplier availability.
- ColdMatch stays supplier-neutral throughout — no kickbacks, no preferred vendors, no obligation to accept any offer.
RFQ Builder — FAQ
What is an RFQ and why use ColdMatch's RFQ builder?+
A Request for Quotation (RFQ) is the structured document buyers send to suppliers to receive comparable, apples-to-apples price offers. ColdMatch's RFQ builder guides you through capacity, temperature class, budget and timeline in 6 minutes, produces a supplier-ready brief, and our team then reviews it, researches technically relevant cold-chain manufacturers, EPC contractors and equipment vendors, and coordinates introductions only where there is a meaningful fit. Your project is never blasted to a supplier list. See how structured RFQs and supplier research work before submitting.
Is the RFQ builder really free?+
Yes. ColdMatch is free for buyers. There is no sign-up, no credit card and no obligation. We are paid by suppliers only after you accept an offer and close a project — the sourcing service, RFQ distribution and shortlist are always free.
Which languages does the RFQ builder support?+
The RFQ builder runs in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese and Korean. Your inputs are translated into English for our internal project review, and you receive quote comparisons back in your language.
How fast will I receive quotes after submitting the RFQ?+
Our team reviews your project and starts supplier research within one business day. Once the requirement is structured and a technical fit is confirmed, we coordinate introductions and comparable offers — typically within 5 to 10 business days, depending on scope and country. No supplier receives your details before that review.
