A three-day expo to address the growing refrigeration and cold chain needs of East India will be held in Kolkata from October 3 to 5.
India’s refrigeration and cold chain industry is evolving rapidly, driven by the increasing demand for temperature-sensitive products in sectors like pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and e-commerce. Kolkata is the gateway to East India which is a huge belt for refrigeration and cold chain applications, covering seafood, agriculture, dairy, floriculture, horticulture, pharma, hospitality, and healthcare.
The Indian Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ISHRAE) in partnership with Informa Markets in India, will be organising the 7th edition of REFCOLD India 2024, which is making its debut in Kolkata.
