Orford Refrigeration
Toowoomba based ORFORD REFRIGERATION is a family company dedicated to the
pursuit of excellence in the highly specialised field of commercial
refrigeration.
Managing Director, John Orford, heads the team which has earned the respect and acclaim as one of
the leaders in refrigeration in Australia.
The company enjoys a close association with such overseas companies as Manitowoc and Anthony, sharing their expertise and technology.
Orford is a household name in Toowoomba, where the family company commenced business in soft drinks and aerated waters way back in 1923.The move into commercial refrigeration came in 1962 when Orford was seeking ways to improve the presentation of their product and to make sure it was served at the right temperature.
The introduction of their horizontal bottle cabinets and vending machines was an unqualified success, and a separate and independent company was eventually formed to meet the market demand for these appliances. The company, Orford Refrigeration, employs over 180 people.
The Orford product range includes:
· Upright Glass Door Merchandisers - Refrigerators and Freezers.
· Cake Display Cases.
· Horizontal Island Freezers.
· Stainless Steel Commercial Kitchen Cabinets and Bakery Cabinets.
The Gastronorm Kitchen Range of Refrigerated Cabinets byOrford compares more than
favourably with the latest products from European, United States and Japanese manufacturers. Orford designed innovations have put the Gastronorm range ahead of the fully imported units in quality, design and price.
Orford's long experience in the Australia market, combined with regular contact on the international scene, allows them to keep abreast of the latest trends and developments in the refrigeration industry both in Australia and overseas.
All of the company's products are manufactured in Orford's Toowoomba factory. The latest production systems including Computer Controlled Sheet Metal Processing, Just-In-Time manufacturing concepts, and Computer Aided Design Systems have increased the quality and dependability of their products, while retaining very competitive pricing.
The company has proven that it possesses the skilled personnel and technical expertise to
produce and sell refrigeration products to the standard and quality the market demands.
Orford has been producing and selling, under licence, the Anthony range of double and triple glazed doors for the Australian market. Anthony Manufacturing Company of San Fernando, USA, is the world's largest manufacturer of refrigerator and freezer glass doors. Their technology has enabled Orford to expand its
product range to include glass inserts and shelving systems used in major food
and grocery chains.
Orford also enjoys a highly productive and successful relationship with Manitowoc, the largest manufacturer of cube ice makers in the USA. They have imported and distributed the Manitowoc cube ice maker range since
the early 1980's, which has permitted them to broaden their sales and manufacturing base by
producing all the ice bins needed to go with the ice machines.
Orford Refrigeration is committed to continuously improving product quality and customer service. The company is justly proud of its achievements in providing refrigeration to the Sheraton, Hilton, Hyatt and Holiday Inn groups, Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola and Cadbury Schweppes in Australia and the South Pacific Region. Orford cabinets have also been installed in Australia's Parliament House.
The company is actively engaged in establishing export markets, and has been successful in selling products to Fiji, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, China, Hong Kong and Noumea.
