C&C Industrial Group

Established in 1984.

Comprising the design and manufacturing capabilities of Coolers and Condensers Ltd and Ripley Engineering (UK) Ltd, the C&C Industrial Group continues to expand and develop high quality products for a wide range of applications across the commercial and industrial air conditioning and refrigeration industry.

Working from manufacturing and design premises across the south of England, our experience and technical expertise push us to keep improving the solutions we build for our customers.

Coolers & Condensers Ltd

Quality, reliability and innovation.

Coolers and Condensers has long been a name recognised for quality, reliability and innovation within the refrigeration industry. Our accumulated technical expertise keeps us at the forefront of new technologies and pushes us to develop new product solutions with our customers.

Growth has brought new production space — a dedicated assembly factory close to our original Fareham site, and now a purpose-built factory in Portsmouth. Together with constant improvements to tooling and working practices, that means more capacity and better quality across our standard ranges and bespoke designs.

Company history

Four decades

In the making

Milestones from forty years of designing and building heat exchangers in Hampshire.

1984
Where it all started
A newly built factory on the Segensworth East industrial estate, set up by four directors who already had a wealth of knowledge and standing in the refrigeration industry.
2011
A new chapter
After 27 years building a sterling reputation in industrial refrigeration, the company was sold to David Gillet, fresh from 36 years at a large UK heat exchanger manufacturer.
2013
Ripley Engineering joins us
We went to look at Ripley Engineering's machinery and were so impressed we bought the company. Their sheet metal expertise lifted our product further, and all our sheet metal work moved to Ripley.
2015
A second factory
As the business grew we needed more room to build. When the factory across the road became available, we took it on for final assembly and unit storage.
2016
Extending the main factory
An extension into the unused space at the back of our main factory made room for new machinery and sped up our existing processes.
2018
A bespoke CO₂ test chamber
With supermarkets turning to CO₂, more work came our way. CO₂ heat exchangers need very high-pressure tests, so we built a test chamber to carry them out safely and efficiently.
2026
A new factory in Portsmouth
A purpose-built 84,000ft² factory for our latest commercial unit coolers and gas coolers, with high-pressure testing and new fin and copper tube machinery. Fareham continues to build industrial and custom products.
