Equans France optimizes the cold chain in the retail sector

LIDL has chosen Equans France for its expertise in redesigning its refrigeration equipment. The open-ended contract aims to ensure the security of the cold chain while reducing the carbon footprint of new projects and facility upgrades.

A Cutting-Edge Environmental Strategy

Eager to take advantage of cutting-edge tools and innovative technologies, LIDL has chosen Equans France to modernize its refrigeration systems. These are major challenges for this leading European food retailer, involving both existing stores and new infrastructure. The Fenouillet store is already reaping the benefits of this new contract.

  • Major Issues
    • Improving the reliability of the cold chain
    • Reducing the carbon footprint associated with refrigerants
    • Managing Energy Consumption

Providing Lidl with customized, sustainable, and innovative solutions is our top priority today

Because our services and our track record with this same equipment are a guarantee of quality, we know that every detail is crucial, and we take great care with each refrigeration system: cold rooms, positive-temperature refrigerated display cases, negative-temperature frozen display cases, and air-cooled chillers.

These innovative solutions, based on cutting-edge technology, will enable Lidl to reduce its carbon footprint, save energy, and ensure excellent management of all its facilities.

An unprecedented modernization project that combines quality and productivity.
