Leading refrigeration equipment manufacturer FRIGA-BOHN is looking to help the European Food Refrigeration sector as industry moves towards an even steeper phase-out of HFC refrigerants.

Lennox International is today announcing details of a definitive agreement to sell its Lennox EMEA commercial HVAC and refrigeration businesses.

An exciting new partnership between Wolseley and Friga-Bohn will provide contractors and end-users with access to the latest advances in high-efficiency refrigeration products for heavy-commercial and industrial applications.

LENNOX EMEA, a leader in the design and manufacture of HVAC and refrigeration solutions, is expanding and reinforcing its presence in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) market. The activities underpinning this new strategy will include a more focused product portfolio for the region and further development of the company’s distributor network across a growing number of countries.

An exciting new partnership will ensure companies in Sweden have access to the latest advances in high-efficiency refrigeration products for commercial and industrial applications. Sweden-based Dahl, part of the multi-national Saint-Gobain corporation, will now represent refrigeration solutions from Friga-Bohn (part of the Lennox EMEA group), a France-based leader in the manufacture of refrigeration equipment.

LENNOX EMEA, a market-leading player in the design and manufacture of heating, air conditioning, air treatment and refrigeration equipment, through its three brands Lennox, Friga-Bohn and HK Refrigeration, is hosting a content-rich ‘Learning Month’, which will run from April 15th to May 15th. Learning Month will comprise a series of free online webinars (in local languages) that provide professionals in the HVAC-R (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration) industry with targeted insight and strategy to take their skills to the next level.

Lennox EMEA is pleased to announce that Paulo Andrade has been appointed as the new HVAC Sales Director for Lennox EMEA. He will continue the Lennox EMEA strategy, focusing on technologies diversification, while keeping customer focus at heart.

As Lennox, air-handling specialist, is just launching the first R32 rooftop on the market, a Lidl supermarket is becoming the world’s first user of the e-Baltic units for energy-efficient delivery of hot and cold air. The advanced e-Baltic units, commissioned in January 2020, are fully compliant to the forthcoming 2021 Ecodesign regulation, and the French response to the EPBD regulations, RT2012. This world-first installation is seen as a key milestone in the industry and, moving forward, the Lennox strategy is to adopt R32 as a replacement for R410A due to its low Global Warming Potential (677 versus 1924) and its affordability.

Lennox has recently expanded its eCOMFORT portfolio with new models ranging from 170 to 400 kW*. Using R32 refrigerant, these additions will allow customers to achieve greater energy efficiency while reducing the environmental impact.
