Frigoscandia Flostart

Over 60 years of freezing innovation heritage

Frigoscandia’s journey in the freezer industry began with the discovery of efficient processing, packing, freezing, and storage methods for vegetables, fruit, and berries. Established in Helsingborg, Sweden, the company emerged as a pioneer in the deep-freezing industry, contributing significantly to the development of the industry. Our Helsingborg location remains the heart of our research and development in freezer technology.

Frigoscandia History Person

Frigoscandia began pioneering industrial freezing in 1960 with the invention of fluidized bed freezing technology, leading to the creation of the groundbreaking FLoFREEZE® IQF Freezer. This innovation, initially designed for freezing peas, remains a vital part of our Frigoscandia product line. It symbolizes our pioneering spirit and is reflected in product names like FLoFREEZE®, GYRoCOMPACT®, FRIGoBELT®, and FRIGoDRIVE®, with the small 'o' representing the frozen pea that started it all.

Frigoscandia Moonlanding

Frigoscandia developed and launched the legendary self-stacking GYRoCOMPACT® Spiral freezer soon after, and that has become the best-selling spiral freezer ever made, with thousands of freezers sold and in operation around the world.

A later addition to the Frigoscandia product lines is the ADVANTEC™ Impingement freezer, which delivers exceptional quick-freezing performance for thinner products or surface stabilization prior to portioning of protein food products.

As our team proudly states; ‘We freeze more than 50% of the world’s frozen food.'

Built on these decades of freezing expertise, the Frigoscandia product line brings deep application knowledge across a wide range of food categories. Food processors can rely on our solutions for freezing everything from vegetables and proteins to ready meals, pizza, bakery products, and more.

  • 1962: Introduction of the Frigoscandia FLoFREEZE® IQF freezer, revolutionizing the industry by enabling individual freezing, significantly enhancing product quality and convenience worldwide.
