Frick India Ltd., a prominent player in the industrial refrigeration sector since 1962, and Japan-based Mayekawa, a global leader established in 1924, have entered into a joint venture to provide energy-efficient compressor packages for a wide range of applications. The developed technology through this venture will be useful for the food and cold chain industry as well as process gas, biogas, and heat pumps in India. This initiative will also offer solutions to companies with a focus on environmental sustainability.
This joint venture ceremony occurred on January 13, 2025, at ITC Maurya, New Delhi. Mr. Takashi Ariyoshi, Minister and Deputy Chief of Mission, Japan Embassy, who attended the ceremony as a guest of honour, underscored the India-Japan strong ties with respect to politics, culture, and values. Also, he quoted the former prime minister of Japan’s statement, “Japan needs India to be strong to make Japan stronger.” Lastly, he congratulated both companies for this venture as it is aiming towards growth for both countries.
Mr. Shin Maekawa, President and CEO of Mayekawa MFG. Co. Limited, made a special trip from Japan to attend the ceremony and sign the agreement. He said, “Seven years ago, he envisioned making both companies together, which came true now. There exists substantial growth potential in India, given that India has a 1.4 billion population, resulting in increasing demand for cold storage and freezer solutions for their daily food requirements. By addressing these demands, we will make this endeavour successful.”
