We prefer to allow convincing facts to speak for themselves.
Cofely Refrigeration GmbH stands for extraordinary expertise involving economic and energy-efficient industrial refrigeration systems and refrigeration components -- and has been doing so for decades. The company's roots go back to the company founded in 1834 in Winterthur by the Sulzer brothers, which built the first refrigerating machine in 1878 on the occasion of the world exhibition in Paris. This innovative strength has continued up to the present day and will continue to be decisively driven on.
Cofely Refrigeration GmbH is a daughter company of Cofely Deutschland GmbH.

History
Even if the name of our firm has changed over the last two centuries, the tradition behind it in the development and production of efficient refrigeration machines and systems has continued without interruption. The roots of our expertise extend back to the year 1834, when the Sulzer brothers founded their foundry in Winterthur, Switzerland, setting the foundation stone for an international company group. Since 1921, refrigeration machines have been produced in series at our headquarters in Lindau and that is where the future of refrigeration technology has started again and again – here are the most important milestones.
