VIFEL I & II HISTORY

Strategically located in the industrial area of Navotas, Vifel Ice Plant & Cold Storage Inc. is indeed at the peak of its responsive and efficient services with its two cold store facilities – Vifel I and Vifel II.  Vifel I started its operations in cold storage in the early 80’s. However, in late 1996, Vifel I underwent major changes which include the acquisition of the most advanced refrigeration system, upgrade of its equipments and renovation of its building. It has been consistent in providing its clients with efficient services.  To date, it has two units of blast freezers with 2 x 30 tons capacity and twenty seven holding rooms with an average capacity of 150 tons each.

Vifel II, on the other hand, was introduced in 1995 as the most advanced and the largest cold storage facility in Asia. It was designed in accordance with the Standards of Sabroe Refrigeration A/S of Denmark. With this world class refrigeration system, this cold store can chill / freeze all types of products at optimized conditions. This cold store has flexible/dual rooms which can be converted from chilling to freezing rooms with a temperature range of +5C to -25C depending on the requirement of the products. Also, it has four blast freezers with a 4 x 25 tons capacity which ensures quick freezing. Equally important to note is its advanced rack system which allows a uniform air circulation and ensures that all products are chilled/frozen in the same way no matter where they are placed.

Vifel I and II boast not only of their state of the art technology but their large storing capacity as well. Close to Manila Harbor, both are specifically aimed at product handling, chilling, freezing and storing various products ranging from milk, cheese and ice cream to meat, poultry products, fruits and vegetables. With these remarkable features, products stored at Vifel are guaranteed to maintain their high quality.

To say the least, Vifel means the right business move towards greater profitability.
