When it comes to protecting perishable goods and sensitive materials, the importance of a purpose-built cold storage warehouse cannot be overstated. Whether you’re storing dairy products, pharmaceuticals, or vaccines, maintaining the correct environment is vital for safety, longevity, and compliance.
At Octego Ltd, we specialise in delivering bespoke cold storage warehousing solutions across food production, healthcare, science, and beyond.
Here’s how we design and install highly efficient, durable, and temperature controlled storage solutions suitable for your industry needs.
1. Cold Storage Warehouses: More Than Just Chillers
A cold storage warehouse is a high-performance, purpose-built facility where perishable goods are stored under carefully controlled conditions. These storage units ensure temperature-sensitive products, like food and pharmaceuticals, remain stable, safe, and compliant from entry to dispatch.
But cold storage isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our climate-controlled storage solutions are designed to match the specific needs of your operation, whether that’s frozen meat, chilled dairy, or lab-grade medical supplies, or any other requirement for cold storage facilities
2. Expert Design for Industry-Specific Needs
Every sector has its own storage challenges. Our team works closely with clients to design cold storage services with sector-specific functionality:
- Food & Beverage: We create cold storage rooms that support HACCP compliance, prevent spoilage, and maintain cold temperatures ideal for meats, dairy products, and produce.
- Medical & Pharmaceutical: Our temperature controlled warehouses include secure zones, backup systems, and constant monitoring to maintain product efficacy.
- Scientific Labs: Our installations maintain precise ambient temperature control and deep-freeze capabilities, supporting research environments, cleanrooms, and sensitive laboratory operations.
- Breweries & Microbreweries: We design tailored cold storage solutions that ensure consistent temperature conditions for fermentation, ingredient storage, and finished product preservation.
3. Construction That Prioritises Hygiene and Efficiency
We build every cold storage warehouse using high-quality materials that are easy to clean, resistant to moisture, and designed for longevity:
- Insulated Flooring: Ensures thermal stability from the ground up.
- Hygienic Wall Panels: Prevents bacterial growth and contamination.
- Custom Doors & Access Systems: Enhance efficiency while maintaining sealed environments.
Our storage facilities are engineered to reduce energy consumption without compromising on performance, helping businesses meet sustainability goals.
4. Temperature Controlled Storage for Supply Chain Continuity
A reliable cold storage facility is the backbone of a well-functioning supply chain. Our units help you:
- Extend shelf life and reduce spoilage
- Maintain compliance with temperature-sensitive regulations
- Prevent costly delays in distribution
With our cold storage services, businesses can rely on consistent conditions, even during power outages, thanks to optional backup generators and emergency alert systems.
5. Advanced Monitoring & Automation
We integrate smart systems into every temperature controlled storage build. These include:
- Real-time temperature and humidity tracking
- Automated alerts for threshold deviations
- Inventory control systems that track stock movement
This means you’re always in control, with transparent data that supports audits, reduces waste, and improves logistics.
6. Flexible Cold Storage Units for All Scales
From compact storage rooms to expansive cold storage warehousing, our modular approach allows for full scalability. Whether you need a walk-in chiller for a microbrewery or a multi-zone medical cold store, long term, we tailor each build to your size, space, and product requirements.
And if your business grows? Our systems are designed to expand with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What industries benefit most from cold storage warehouses?
Sectors like food production, pharmaceuticals, medical labs, breweries, and floral distribution all benefit from cold storage warehousing to maintain product quality and safety.
2. How do cold storage facilities handle power outages?
Our cold storage units can include emergency backup systems such as diesel generators to maintain temperature control during outages, preventing loss of stock.
3. What temperatures can be achieved in a cold storage warehouse?
We design facilities with multiple zones: refrigerated (2–8°C), frozen (-18°C), and ultra-low (-80°C or below) for specialised medical use.
4. What’s the difference between a cold storage warehouse and regular storage warehouses?
A cold storage warehouse maintains precise temperature and humidity levels, whereas traditional storage warehouses do not offer environmental control, making them unsuitable for temperature sensitive products.
5. Can Octego customise a storage unit for both food and medical products?
Yes. We design temperature controlled warehouses with separate, regulated zones to safely store diverse items like dairy products and pharmaceuticals under one roof.
