Wolseley and Friga-Bohn (part of the Lennox EMEA group) Partnership Join Forces to deliver High-Quality Industrial Refrigeration Solutions

Continuing their expansion of suppliers and distributors across the UK, leading France-based refrigeration equipment manufacturer Friga-Bohn and Wolseley Climate, have signed an agreement with a specific objective: boosting growth in customized and semi-customized refrigeration solutions for the industrial segment.

Wolseley is one of the UK’s leading distributors of plumbing, heating, and cooling products with a large network of specialist cooling branches across the country. The extensive trade merchant infrastructure of Wolseley and its expertise in refrigeration engineering and project management will combine with Friga-Bohn's comprehensive range of semi-commercial and industrial refrigeration solutions. The ‘Engineering to Order’ team at Friga-Bohn will support Wolseley Technical team with the design of customised complex industrial solutions.

With a proven track record in developing, manufacturing, and selling state-of-the-art solutions for semi-commercial and food service applications, Friga-Bohn is actively participating in the refrigeration transition by offering CO2 and A2L solutions. From its test center located in France, Friga-Bohn can offer certified, high-reliability products to customers.

"Friga-Bohn’s reputation for producing high-quality refrigeration equipment is very impressive,” states Peter Woods, Technical Sales Director at Wolseley Building Services. "We’re confident that our partnership will help us deliver even better high-quality cooling solutions to our customers."
Fabrice Jallerat, Sales Director Distribution in Europe at Friga-Bohn, adds: "Wolseley has highly experienced sales engineers and offers vast UK coverage. We can therefore expand our reach and provide more customers with reliable and efficient refrigeration equipment."

With the aim of expanding Friga-Bohn’s sales in the UK, Ireland and Nordics region, the company hired Saziye Azlik Dickson in September 2022. The purpose of this appointment is to establish closer connections with customers on a local scale, aligning with the company's growth strategy.
 

Customers can expect Wolseley and Friga-Bohn to provide customized and semi-customized refrigeration solutions that meet local requirements. The combination of high-quality products and expert service and support is certain to help deliver optimal refrigeration systems for customers and reduce their environmental impact.
