Cold storage built for your sector — not adapted to it.
Pharmaceutical operators, dairy processors, halal meat exporters, fruit and vegetable growers, potato and onion long-storage, banana ripeners — each industry brings its own temperature band, tolerance, regulatory frame, and operating reality. Plus controlled-atmosphere stores for fruit export and refrigerated transport that connects them. Izhar Foster engineers cold storage around your sector's brief, not a generic template. Manufactured at our 277,460 sqft Lahore plant since 1959.
Each sector has its own band, its own auditor, its own failure mode.
Pharma cold rooms hold ±0.5 °C across a validated working volume — dairy chillers don't. Halal poultry chillers separate carcass-chill from cutting-room cold — fruit cold stores don't. Banana ripening cycles temperature on a stepped 4–6 day program — potato long-storage holds it constant for nine months. Choose the sector below to see how we engineer for it.
Pharmaceutical
GMP-validated cold rooms — DRAP-compliant, IQ/OQ/PQ documentation, N+1 redundant Bitzer refrigeration. For vaccines, biologics, insulins, ultra-low mRNA storage.
02 +4°C → −22°CDairy
Bulk milk reception, yogurt and cheese ripening, finished-goods chillers, ice cream −22 °C. CIP-friendly construction. Nestlé, Engro, Olper's, Fauji Foods.
03 +4°C → −40°CMeat & Poultry
Halal-compliant carcass chillers, cutting rooms, blast freezers, frozen storage. HACCP-friendly designs for K&N's, Engro and meat exporters.
04 +0 → +13°CFruit & Vegetable
Crop-specific rooms — mango, citrus, apple, tomato, leafy greens. Pre-coolers, storage, ripening chambers tuned per commodity per ASHRAE Ch. 21 / USDA Handbook 66.
05 +2 → +8°CPotato & Onion
Long-storage rooms tuned per crop — 95% RH for potato, 70% RH for onion, sprout-suppression engineering. 6–9 month commercial storage capability.
06 +13 → +17°C cyclingBanana Ripening
Ethylene-controlled chambers (100–150 ppm initiation), 4–6 day stepped cycling, pressure-tight panel construction. For importers, distributors, retail cold-chain.
07 +0 → +4°C, low O₂Controlled Atmosphere
CA stores for apples, kinnow, dates, stone fruit. Long-storage with controlled O₂ / CO₂ / N₂ for export-grade fruit. 4–6× shelf life vs conventional.
08 −25°C → +12°CRefrigerated Vehicles
Insulated truck bodies in PIR with Zanotti Italy and Thermo King USA refrigeration units — for the cold-chain link between plant, DC, and retail.
From sector brief to commissioning — a single engineering team.
Whichever industry you're in, the path is the same: brief, sized concept, validated design, install, commissioning with audit-ready documentation. What changes per sector is the temperature band, the tolerance, the regulatory frame, the redundancy, and the auditor's checklist. We've built that knowledge across seven decades, from a 277,460 sqft Lahore plant.
- Brief. Capacity, product, temperature band, regulatory frame, location, civil readiness.
- Sizing. Use our load calculator (ASHRAE Ch. 24) for the heat load, our cost calculator for the budget band.
- Concept design. Panel spec, refrigeration topology, controls philosophy, redundancy strategy.
- Validated design. Engineering drawings, refrigeration P&ID, electrical SLD, controls scope.
- Install & commissioning. Panel erection, refrigeration, controls, validation testing, sector-appropriate documentation.
- Handover. IQ/OQ/PQ for pharma, HACCP for food, training for operations.
