We’re proud to share another successful project: supplying and installing CO2 gas coolers for New World Devonport.

With a busy supermarket that needed to stay open and trading, there was no room for disruption. Our team carried out the installation overnight, working against a tight deadline to have everything completed and running before the doors opened the next morning.

Jobs like this don’t happen by chance. Weeks of detailed planning went into every step, from logistics and lifting to sequencing the changeover, so that when the time came, the team could work quickly, safely and with confidence. On the night, their focus, teamwork and dedication made all the difference, and the installation went exactly to plan.

A huge thank you to our installation crew for going above and beyond, and to the team at New World Devonport for their trust and support throughout the project. 🙌

We've just finished a big two night job on some critical infrastructure that you wouldn't normally think about: our gas coolers that run our in-store refrigeration were end of life and needed to be replaced (just in time for warmer weather!). These are like the outdoor units for your heat pump, but they have 50x more capacity...and we have two of them. These units work hard keeping stock cold 24/7, and they don't even do any of our store heating or aircon.

This has been 10 months of planning with refrigeration contractors, structural engineers, acoustic consultants, and electricians.

A big thanks to our neighbours for putting up with the overnight noise from a crane and construction works. We won't need to do this again for 15+ years!

(This didn't cause our refrigeration issues this morning.)

Happy World Refrigeration Day!
June 26th, we celebrate one of the most transformative — yet often overlooked — industries in human history.
Think about it: without refrigeration, the modern world simply wouldn't exist as we know it.
Medicines and vaccines that save millions of lives depend on cold chain logistics.
Fresh food travels from farms to your table safely, reducing hunger and waste across the globe.
Our cities, data centres, and hospitals are kept functioning through precision air conditioning and cooling systems.
Sustainable heat pump technology is now at the forefront of the global energy transition.
From history to today...
Refrigeration didn't just change how we eat — it reshaped agriculture, medicine, architecture, and global trade. It enabled cities to grow, populations to thrive, and industries to scale. The cold chain alone is estimated to protect over $1 trillion in food and pharmaceuticals annually.
And the future?
As the world demands smarter, greener solutions, the refrigeration and HVAC industry is rising to the challenge — developing low-GWP refrigerants, energy-efficient heat pumps, and intelligent climate systems that will power a sustainable tomorrow.
A huge thank you to every technician, engineer, and professional who keeps the world running cool — your work matters more than most people realise.

From all the staff at Fonko — proud to be part of an industry that truly changes the world.

This Friday is World Refrigeration Day!

For well over 140 years, refrigeration has quietly reshaped the world — keeping food fresh, medicines safe, and communities comfortable. It's one of the most world-altering technologies most people never think twice about.

This year's global theme is "Cool Intelligence" — celebrating the smart systems and skilled people behind every great cooling solution. That's something our team lives and breathes every day.

At Fonko, we're proud to be moving the industry forward with CO2 transcritical refrigeration. Here's the full-circle twist: CO2 was actually one of the very first refrigerants ever used, back in the 1880s, before synthetic gases took over for most of the 20th century. Now it's back — with a global warming potential of just 1, compared to thousands for the gases it's replacing.

Same gas that helped start it all. Smarter technology. A cooler future for generations to come.

Happy World Refrigeration Day from the Fonko team!
