Specialist Sake Chiller, London
Japanese Beverage Distributor
Background
A new client required our expertise to build frozen and chilled storage alongside a distribution warehouse for Europe’s biggest importer and developer of Japanese food and drink.
Requirement
Japanese food and drink has grown in popularity and the company needed to expand and adapt their facility to enable them to better serve their UK and European customers.
Solution
A series of rooms for storage and distribution including a 44.26m x 15.07m x 10.12m high freezer. To enable easy access, we installed a 3m wide x 4m high rapid rise door and because of the high value and storage requirements of Sake, a separate chiller was created, alongside the vegetable chiller for fresh produce. To keep the products at the correct temperature during loading we also installed a dock chiller.
It was an exciting project that required us to provide solutions for different food and drink products as well as the different stages of storage and distribution
As England’s third national lockdown was announced on 4th January 2021, we would like to continue to provide reassurance that Stancold remain pro-active in meeting client expectations as efficiently as possible during such testing times.
Throughout the pandemic, we have consistently acted upon guidance provided by the Construction Leadership Council, our external Health & Safety consultants, Building Safety Group, and the British Government to ensure the protection of our colleagues and those that may be required to work around them, as construction sites remain open.
Should any further recommendations be announced, our senior team will react promptly to implement across the business.
While we have a skeleton office-based team and others working remotely, we are maintaining a ‘business-as-usual’ approach as much as possible and remain contactable in the usual manner, via email and telephone.
A partnership between Mr Adams and Mr Rowland, two metalworker friends back from the war. Over the years, they became one of the first companies in England making cork filled coldroom panels that were sandwiched between timber frames and vapor repellent faces infilled with rope fibres, bitumen and caulk to create a seal.

Name change to Stancold Coldstore Construction
Where the name originated from is a combination of urban legend and myth. Some say it was the idea of an installer called Stan, some say it was a “clever use” of the concept of 'Standing in the Cold'. However we got here, we are proud of our roots!
1988-1997
The Gillham family steps in
