Refrigeration
is our world
You may wonder how a country as small as New Zealand produced a company with as big a global reputation in refrigeration as Patton. It’s because of New Zealand’s size, geography and reliance on primary industry that refrigeration became so important to the country Patton calls home. In 1882, when the world’s markets opened to New Zealand’s agricultural exports with the first shipment of refrigerated meat to London, high quality refrigeration was vital to New Zealand’s economic growth. It was an industry that encouraged men like George E Patton. Innovative thinkers whose knowledge and skills formed the platform to today’s ability to deliver the world’s most advanced refrigeration solutions, top end products and outstanding service.
