Realcold Milmech renames as Milmeq

Milmeq incorporates the businesses formerly known as Realcold Milmech, Realcold Industrial, Realcold Mechanical and Realcold Millers Mechanical.

Having combined the expertise and engineering skill set of all of the above, Milmeq presents a clear offering to customers within food processing businesses for the supply of primary food processing systems, materials handling systems and chilling and freezing systems.

The capital Q presented in the logo relates to the refrigeration and thermodynamics expertise which the company was built upon. In physics the process of heat energy transfer, also known as thermodynamics, is represented with a capital Q. Milmeq now encompasses the mechanical, controls and refrigeration engineering expertise as a fully integrated entity.

When the company began in New Zealand in 1952 it was known as Refrigeration Engineering and experienced rapid growth through assisting meat and dairy processors with chilling, freezing and cold storage systems. Refrigeration Engineering later became known as The Realcold Group of Companies, which also incorporated wholesaling operations for refrigeration and air-conditioning components. The commercial components wholesale operations located in both New Zealand and Australia have merged and are now named as Realcold. Milmeq and Realcold are now two separate entities.

Milmeq custom designs, engineers and manufactures systems for primary food processing, chilling and freezing and materials handling for processors within primary food markets, including red meat, poultry, dairy, seafood and horticulture.

The Milmeq name and look has changed, but all the staff and expertise that develop, design and deliver highly complex processing systems remains the same.

The new Milmeq website at www.milmeq.com was launched last April.
