Installations and reference projects across cold storage and Controlled Atmosphere

A snapshot of representative projects — cold storage, food processing plants, walk-in refrigeration, and Controlled Atmosphere / ULO / DCA installations delivered by CSDS and our international technology partners. Project details are shared at a high level to protect client confidentiality; detailed references are available on request during scoping.

Designed for different crops, climates, and operating realities

The right CA or cold storage package looks different in a 500-tonne organic apple operation than it does in a 15,000-tonne multi-product cold storage. The projects below illustrate how we scope equipment, rooms, and controls around each client’s product mix, tonnage, and long-term business plan.
