One contract covers design, supply, installation and commissioning. Howcool is one of the few Chinese firms delivering full EPC cold storage — engineering, procurement and construction — rather than shipping equipment and leaving the buyer to find an installer.
Beijing Howcool Refrigeration Technology Co., Ltd. is a professional engineering enterprise specialising in refrigeration equipment and cold storage construction, with 15+ years of industry experience and 500+ projects delivered across 24+ countries. The company employs 200+ specialised staff including a large engineering team.
The defining capability is turnkey EPC — design, supply, installation and commissioning under one contract. Very few Chinese refrigeration companies carry the engineering, procurement and construction scope together; most sell equipment only. For an overseas buyer this removes the coordination risk of matching imported equipment to a local installer who has never seen the system before.
Supply scope covers insulation panels (PU and PIR), refrigeration condensing units (monoblock and semi-hermetic, 1HP to 500HP), evaporators, refrigeration accessories, tunnel freezers and IQF quick-freezing systems, ultra-low temperature rooms down to -80°C, pharmaceutical cold rooms, CA controlled atmosphere storage and PLC automation. A real-time monitoring centre tracks temperature, humidity and equipment status across installed cold rooms.
Delivered project references include a two-stage 50,000 m³ cold-chain logistics centre in Wuhan for fruit and meat distribution, a 1,000-tonne strawberry CA cold storage in Dandong extending shelf life by six months, a -65°C ultra-low pharmaceutical cold store for vaccines, biologics and cell-therapy products, a 20,000-tonne cold storage in Kazakhstan, a food factory cold storage in Jamaica designed for tropical climate, and a 49,500 m³ multi-temperature food cold store. Systems have also been exported to nuclear plants and pharmaceutical factories.
Who Benefits Most From This Supplier: Food processors and cold-chain logistics operators (multi-temperature distribution centres, meat, seafood, poultry and produce storage), fruit and vegetable exporters (CA controlled-atmosphere long-term storage), pharmaceutical manufacturers and vaccine distributors (GMP-grade cold rooms, -65°C to -80°C ultra-low storage for biologics and cell therapy), dairy and ice cream producers (hardening rooms and blast freezers), IQF processors (tunnel and spiral quick-freezing lines for berries, vegetables, seafood and prepared meals), supermarket and retail chains (central distribution cold stores), catering and central kitchen operators, port and airport cold-chain terminals, agricultural cooperatives and government food-reserve projects, nuclear and industrial plants requiring specialised low-temperature process cooling, and EPC contractors and project developers in the Middle East, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa and the Caribbean seeking a single-contract cold storage partner.

Wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted monoblock units for small and medium cold rooms — single-piece installation with minimal on-site pipework.
Semi-hermetic compressor condensing units across a 1HP to 500HP range for medium and large industrial cold storage duty.
Polyurethane and polyisocyanurate sandwich panels with cam-lock joints for walls, ceilings and floors, plus cold room doors.
Individual quick freezing tunnel freezers for berries, vegetables, seafood, poultry and prepared meals where cell structure and texture must survive the freeze.
Ultra-low temperature cold rooms including delivered -65°C pharmaceutical storage for vaccines, biologics and cell-therapy products.
Validated pharmaceutical cold rooms with mapping, redundancy, alarm and data-logging suited to vaccine and biologic storage.
Controlled-atmosphere rooms regulating oxygen, carbon dioxide and humidity — a delivered 1,000-tonne strawberry CA store extended shelf life by six months.
PLC-based plant control plus a real-time monitoring centre tracking temperature, humidity and equipment status across every cold room.
Unit coolers, air coolers, valves, controls and refrigeration accessories supplied as part of the EPC scope or standalone.
Engineering, procurement and construction delivered on one contract — from load calculation and layout to installation, debugging and after-sales maintenance.
Selling points, quality control, certifications and service commitments stated by the supplier — the reasons given for buying here rather than from a competitor.
Design, supply, installation and commissioning are all in scope, removing the coordination gap between imported equipment and local installers.
A reference wall spanning logistics centres, CA fruit stores, pharmaceutical ultra-low rooms and export projects.
A dedicated engineering team rather than a trading desk, with 24-hour technical response.
Systems designed for up to 35% lower power consumption than the baseline comparison the company cites.
Longer than the typical Chinese refrigeration equipment warranty period.
Quality and information-security management certification, plus CE and HACCP.
A control room tracks temperature, humidity and equipment status across installed rooms so faults are caught before product is lost.
Engineers work alongside the client on site reviewing drawings against real installation conditions before fabrication commits.
Full export documentation and CIF delivery worldwide, with delivered projects in Kazakhstan, Jamaica and beyond.
Systems supplied to nuclear plants and pharmaceutical factories, which is an unusually demanding qualification bar for a cold storage contractor.
The questions and objections that come up most often when buyers evaluate this supplier and this product category.
EPC covers engineering, procurement and construction on one contract. Howcool designs the system, supplies the equipment, installs it on site and commissions it — instead of shipping equipment and leaving the buyer to find an installer who has never seen the system.
From standard chilled and frozen rooms through IQF quick-freezing tunnels to ultra-low temperature storage down to -80°C. A delivered pharmaceutical project runs at -65°C for vaccines, biologics and cell-therapy products.
ISO 9001:2015, ISO/IEC 27001:2013, CE, HACCP and Ministry of Commerce registration are listed on the company site.
Five years on core components, which is longer than the typical Chinese refrigeration equipment warranty.
Yes. CIF delivery worldwide with full export documentation, plus installation, debugging and after-sales maintenance. Delivered export projects include Kazakhstan and Jamaica, with Jamaica specifically engineered for tropical climate conditions.
CA storage regulates oxygen, carbon dioxide and humidity alongside temperature to slow respiration in fresh produce. On a delivered 1,000-tonne strawberry project it extended shelf life by around six months, which changes the economics for exporters shipping seasonal fruit.
