Our company recently took part in an important event aimed at bringing together high school students, during their final year, and the most important companies in the province of Belluno.
An event to make young people known the main industries of our territory and help them find their way in the workplace.
De Rigo Refrigeration could not miss this event. Graziella Bortot, HR manager, and the technical director Marco Miatton explained to the e students what our company deals with, and which professional skills are most in demand in the commercial refrigeration sector.
Through workshops, laboratories, and job interview simulations, the students were able to better understand what the industry sector of this beautiful area can offer them.
At DRR we believe that the comparison with the new generation is crucial, and we are also sure that listening and supporting them in the choice of a future professional path helps to create a winning combination between their aspirations and the real offer of the industrial market.
The Multicedi group, leader in large-scale distribution in Southern Italy, after choosing DRR for the DECO’ point of sale in Casamassima, near Bari, relies once again on us for the new Dodecà supermarket in Torre del Greco, near Naples.
A 1200 m2 sales point with a large exhibition space reserved for fresh products, which the customer chose to stock in the new generation of DRR cabinets: the serve over Patmos 2.1; the multi-deck vertical Euro Puket 2.0, the islands Newport Glass 2.0, Elba and Amethyst. Even the cold rooms are by De Rigo Refrigeration.
We are proud that Multicedi, which is part of the Végé Group – one of the largest networks in the panorama of Italian associated distribution, entrusted De Rigo for the whole refrigeration area of these supermarkets. Thanks for all the confidence you have shown once again in us and see you soon with many other projects and collaborations!
The DRR Italy sales force meeting took place just a few days ago at our headquarters. It was an important moment of sharing dedicated to partners and agents who follow the business in the various regions of our peninsula. A meeting to share and discuss together the needs of the market, the results achieved, future objectives, the new European regulations on F-Gas, but above all to present all the new products released over the last few months and anticipate what we will launch shortly.
And it is precisely to focus on the products that for this 2024 edition we have decided to organize the event in our company’s showroom, our collaborators have thas been able to see up close and touch all the new solutions developed by our R&D for the Italian market.
De Rigo Refrigeration CEO Paolo Zenatto also stressed that the decision to organize this meeting directly in the beating heart of the company was also made for highlighting to our external collaborators the key infrastructure improvements and modernisation carried out in the production area of the plant.
We thank all the participants for sharing this important event with us, and a special applause goes to the whole Italian sales team, led by Fausto Domenghini, for the great work they are doing.
A multi-deck vertical cabinets line characterized by low consumptions and high energy efficiency, specially designed to simplify multiplexing operations as much as possible. The display area is very large, with a load capacity that can reach +60% compared to models with equivalent footprint. This not only saves time in loading but also allows customers to reach a wider choice of products. Mistral aesthetics is characterized by elegance and essentiality, specially designed to offer maximum products visibility and to best adapt to any display need. Into some models it is possible to have a transparent back for a panoramic view of the goods on display. Mistral has a very low front height which is the same for any models of the range, both at positive and negative temperatures, thus allowing exceptional aesthetic uniformity within the point of sale.

Two new Cash and Carry supermarkets of the COMERCO brand were inaugurated in recent weeks in Andalusia with De Rigo Refrigeration cabinets. The first store is in MOTRIL, near Granada, and the second one is in Conil De La Frontera, a lively tourist resort along the Costa de la Luz.
The wide range of fresh and frozen products, together with the more specific butcher’s and fruit areas, are displayed and stored inside vertical cabinets of the E. PUKET 2.0 range for positive temperature products, TIMOR 2.0 for frozen foods, while for the serve over counters area the customer choosed the MILOS 2.0 line.
Congratulations to the De Rigo Refrigeración Iberica team and a special thanks to COALIMENT ANDALUCIA for their trust.
DRR has just been awarded with a high Legality Rating by the Italian Antitrust Competition Authority.
This rating, introduced into Italian law in 2012, indicates the company’s compliance with high standards of legality and has the objective of constantly promoting the principles of ethical behaviour within the company.
By obtaining a score of ★ ★ +, almost the maximum achievable, De Rigo Refrigeration demonstrates its constant commitment to comply with the laws and regulations of the countries in which we operate, and also confirms its high level of compliance with the implementing regulation requirements, maintaining – at the same time – high standards of reputation and transparency towards its stakeholders.
The Lily supermarket recently opened in the city of Labranza in Chile has been set up in preview with the new Mistral vertical cabinets line. A totally new range of products that in a few days will be launched on the market, which you can see here in an exclusive preview for South America.

We are mentioned in the latest issue of ISL magazine, a monthly magazine for legal updates and technical guidance on occupational health and safety.
“HR, production, and OHS Management Systems: the experiences of companies” is the title of the interesting article, signed by Flavio Battiston, part of a collection of company experiences that the magazine is dedicating to the topic of Safety, internal climate, and production for the effectiveness and efficiency of organisations. A multi-voice reflection on the relationship between the promotion of human resources, production, and the protection of occupational health and safety.
Graziella Bortot, HR manager, and Loris Guolla, Health and Safety Officer – Management System Manager, spoke on behalf of De Rigo Refrigeration about the extensive organisational and management changes made by our company in recent years, with major investments in safety, training, and skills implementation. A more unified vision of the corporate system has been introduced, which has led the various corporate departments to interact, empowering in particular the sharing of choices on the protection of health and safety and the management of human resources.
In fact, one of DRR’s main objectives is to steer the issue of workers’ health and safety towards a concept of “corporate welfare”, and to do so through a management organisation “model” of our own that can be self-sustaining with the resources of the future.

The magazine Die Kalte und Klimatecnick interviewed Alessandro Zanella, Sales Director Europe, and Cristian Corrocher, Sales Manager Germany, to talk about our presence in the DACH area.
An interesting opportunity to illustrate our proposals for the German market, namely: high energy saving solutions; CO2 systems; customization to the specific German customer needs, and the fundamental and central importance of an efficient after-sales support service. Zanella and Corrocher then underlined how our production is still 100% in Italy, as well as the entire R&D organization and Service coordination, and how this is particularly appreciated by the market.

Last Friday, we met in the beating heart of our company, the production department, to exchange Merry Christmas greetings and make a toast together to this year that is drawing to a close. Paolo Zenatto, DRR Managing Director, recalled how what is coming to an end was a year of significant investments for De Rigo Refrigeration, a year full of challenges and milestones, achieved thanks to fantastic teamwork.
It was an opportunity to greet, celebrate and applaud colleagues who have retired during 2023; people who have dedicated from 2 to as many as 45 years of work to this company!
And then we listened to the beautiful words spoken by our President, Cavalier Ennio De Rigo, who never ceases to amaze and move us.
And so each of us went home with their own special the memory of the evening, and a tasty gift pack in our hands, to share with our loved ones during these festive days.
Thank you De Rigo Refrigeration!
And a virtual toast we would like to extend to all our customers, partners and collaborators, whom we were unable to meet in person these days. Thank you all and again Happy Holidays!
Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your families.
Thank you for your loyalty, for choosing us and working with us during this year full of challenges and fruitful collaborations.
We look forward to 2024 with lots of new developments!

Through this project we want to keep our employees up-to-date on everything that is happening in our factory, but also to inform them of new openings that are realised thanks to the valuable and fundamental contribution of each and every one of them.
News will be posted on a specific social platform and at the same time displayed in special information spaces at the most strategic points of the production department.
Involvement, Sharing and Participation are among the values of De Rigo Refrigeration!
Investing in people has always been De Rigo Refrigeration’s commitment. Their personal and professional growth is one of the most important elements for our company, and it is with this in mind that we launched a training and group coaching pathway involving people from the Foreign Sales Department in collaboration with T•CoP.
The first meetings are dedicated to managing effective communication starting with listening and the correct way to ask questions to one’s interlocutor.
A creative path aimed at stimulating reflection and the exchange of ideas, in order to maximise the participants’ personal and professional potential, also with regard to the customer.
We wish our colleagues in the Export department a nice working day!

De Rigo Refrigeration is now an official member of Eurovent, the Europe’s Industry Association for Indoor Climate (HVAC), Process Cooling, and Food Cold Chain Technologies.
Eurovent, with more then 1.000 member companies from throughout Europe, is one of the the largest cross-regional industry committees for our business.
Over the years, the Brussels-based organisation has become a well-respected and known stakeholder that builds bridges between the manufacturers it represents and associations, legislators, and standardisation bodies on a national, regional and international level. While Eurovent strongly supports energy-efficient and sustainable technologies, it advocates a holistic approach that also integrates health, life and work quality as well as safety aspects. Eurovent holds in-depth relations with partner associations around the globe with values and goals that perfectly match those of De Rigo Refrigeration.
One of the recent collaborations that we are most proud has been with Banco Fresco, the all-Italian retail chain of Prosol group; one of the most important players in the large-scale retail sector in France, which has been expanding rapidly in Italy in recent years with a completely independent chain.
The formula is clear and successful, and focuses in particular on fresh and very fresh products: fruit and vegetables, fish, meats, charcuterie, cheese. This strategy requires the utmost attention to product preservation and therefore makes us particularly proud to have fitted out the entire cold section of the most recently opened shops.
The four supermarkets opened in the provinces of Milan, Monza-Brianza and Bergamo between 2022 and 2023 are all in fact equipped with De Rigo Refrigeration counters, and we are very grateful to the management of Banco Fresco for choosing us.
This collaboration also takes us into French territory, where many of the Grand Frais and Fresh brand shops have also chosen DRR cabinets.
We’d like to end this round of interviews recorded at Euroshop to the export area mangers with our colleague Magdalena Hunkiewicz, who tells us about our presence in Eastern Europe.
In this area we are expanding both through a specific distribution organization and through direct contact with large-scale retail.
We are also implementing a network of contacts that will soon enable us to also manage turnkey projects.
The De Rigo Refrigeration product range already includes highly appealing solutions for the needs of this specific geographic area, but the new products previewed at Euroshop will meet the requirements demanded by our customers in the Eastern European market in an even clearer way.

The first sales of De Rigo Refrigeration in Middle East and Northern Africa goes back to 50 years ago. In all these years we have built a stable presence in the area and today we can count on a network of distributors and on-site technical assistance companies that allow us to offer turnkey projects, as well as a high-quality maintenance and aftersales Service.
We are also proud to say that last year we started installing turn-key projects in CO2 also in these regions, that are known to have climates with very high temperatures. Those installations were possible thanks to the good cooperation with our local partners; and the success of these projects was confirmed directly by the customers who gave us another slot of projects in CO2 for 2023.
During Euroshop we had the pleasure to meet many customers from Middle East, if you could not came to the show, we’ll be only too glad to visit you or welcome you in our head office.

Important projects were realised in 2022 both with long-standing customers, who renewed their trust in our company, and with new customers who chose us for the first time.
We are particularly proud of the large number of CO2 installations carried out in South America in the last three years; truly exciting projects that we have realised thanks to the trust that customers have placed in us and in new technologies geared towards ever greater energy savings and lower environmental impact.
But such complex and challenging projects would not be possible in this geographical area without the support of a highly professional on-site team focused on constant professional training.
And to provide our customers with an increasingly efficient and timely service, De Rigo Refrigeration has further expanded its technical-sales staff in LATAM, under the careful supervision of Federico Villalba and Christian Dean.
With a large number of CO2 projects already on track for 2023 and 2024, we aim to grow further in turnkey installations in South America.

On 10 January, Israeli supermarket chain Mahsaney Hashuk opened its first CO2 supermarket near Jerusalem. We managed the entire refrigeration area, from the refrigerated cabinets to the CO2 refrigeration system, through our local partner G.L. 770 Technologies Ltd.
The advice of De Rigo refrigeration and G.L. 770 was crucial in guiding the customer's choice towards a 100% environmentally friendly refrigerant such as CO2. The environmental characteristics led us to choose products with the highest safety and efficiency, and the collaboration of our partner Advansor was crucial in choosing a system suitable for working in temperatures that can exceed 40° in summer.
This project paved the way for a long series of CO2 installations in Israel that De Rigo Refrigeration and G.L.770 Technologies will complete between 2023 and 2024. Follow us!
Dear Customers,
This year draws to a close and we hope you can spend these festive days together with the people you love most, in serenity and health.

All this has been possible above all thanks to you, who have placed your trust in our company by choosing our products and services.
Big challenges still lie ahead in 2023. We are ready for them with new ideas and solutions for your supermarkets that we will present at Euroshop, the world's most important trade fair for the retail market.

Our collaboration with CONAD Adriatico continues.
Here are a few shots of the supermarkets opened a few weeks ago in Pedaso, in the Marche region, and in Cerignola, Puglia, respectively.
Two important renovations, under the banner of innovation and sustainability, where De Rigo Refrigeration took care of the entire refrigeration aspect by installing wall-mounted counters of the Angel line, for the positive temperature areas, and Timor 2.0 for the display of frozen products.
For the deli, fresh produce and meat area, Conad chose our Patmos 2.0 line of traditional counters, completing both supermarkets with Newport Glass and promotional islands from the Amethyst and Elba lines.
The project was finally completed by our cold storage rooms
Thank you to Conad Adriatico for involving us in these wonderful projects and for the trust you continue to have in our company. Follow us, new outlets are already on track for 2023!

In the global scene of an economy strongly affected by the rise in energy costs, even in the agri-food chain, the R&D department of De Rigo Refrigeration has focused on the development of increasingly performing products, with low energy consumption and reduced environmental impact. Here are some shots of the latest generation DRR cabinets in some supermarkets between France and Belgium in recent months. Alongside the vertical cabinets with double glazed doors, which have become a must for most European retailers, there is the use of doors also on our Semi-Vertical Euro Barbados 2.0 range, and the implementation of doors and frames without resistance on our low temperature range of vertical cabinets, Timor 2.0. Particularly popular both in France and Belgium are our solutions for connection to R454C and R455A (A2L) gas refrigeration units, both in positive and negative temperature cabinets. De Rigo Refrigeration strongly believes in the research and development of solutions that are increasingly oriented towards energy saving and respect for the environment; and we are pleased that our customers in France and Belgium have chosen them for their supermarkets.
De Rigo Refrigeration supplied equipment for the cold section of one of Saudi Arabia’s most elegant hypermarkets to date.
A 3,800-square-metre retail outlet in Namerah, a town in the Makkah province, 450 kilometres from Jeddah.
We are talking about Nahda 10, which was built by the Nahda Modern Company in collaboration with our long-standing partner Alshaya Enterprises.
The result of this prestigious collaboration was a concept store aimed at meeting the requirements and lifestyle needs of both residents and visitors. Modernity and tradition go hand in hand and thus give customers the opportunity to experience typical Saudi Arabian hospitality. Meticulous attention was paid to furnishings: our refrigeration counters complement the lighting and colours of these well-organised spaces, which have always been the distinctive feature of the Nahda retail outlets.
Specifically, De Rigo Refrigeration offered the Angel range for vertical units with positive temperature, and the Timor 2.0 range for ice-cream and frozen food. The project also includes traditional counters, with our Patmos 2.0 product range used for the entire serve-over section.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Mr Mohammed Abdul Aziz Alshaya for placing his trust in us once again and for getting us involved in this wonderful project, and we would also like to congratulate the entire De Rigo Middle East team on their recent achievements in Saudi Arabia.

This has been possible not only because of the excellent work that is being done by our export team in Central Europe, but also and especially because the German commercial refrigeration market is increasingly placing its trust in our company and in our products.
This is why we would like to help them choose the DRR products that are best suited to their needs by offering them all the content on our website directly in German.

It was exactly one year ago that we launched an intensive promotional campaign in Poland to strengthen our presence in this country by building up a solid network of distributors, installers, and partners.
We have had the opportunity to open new shops and supermarkets in southern Poland in collaboration with our new distributor Klimors Sp. Zoo., a long-standing company with extensive experience in the field of refrigeration. This is just the beginning of a productive collaboration, and we already have interesting projects lined up for the coming year. Klimors is certainly the ideal partner for us: it is a cooperative specialist, with a team of professionals who perfectly understand local market needs.
Here you can see some photos taken in Katowice, at the ARAD butcher’s shop, which we supplied with serve-over counters from the Patmos 2.0 SQ product line, specifically designed for meat, along with plug-in, low-temperature vertical cabinets for displaying frozen food.
A heartfelt thank you goes to our partner Klimors and to the whole foreign sales team as they have been doing an excellent job in this region.
One of our most competitive serve-over counter line has been completely revised with important aesthetic and structural improvement reflecting the most recent market demands:
– reduced footprint on the ground
– increased total display area
– new square aesthetic and endwalls geometry
Milos 2.0 offers solutions with a minimum footprint on the ground, without having to give up a large TDA. The compact dimensions and the flexibility makes it the ideal choice for small and medium-sized stores and the range is available in both remote and plug-in versions.

A concept which focuses on the specificities of the territory and of the people who live there. This is the challenge won in the project that ended a few weeks ago for the DESPAR-branded supermarket owned by C.a.S.P. Valle del Brasimone, Aspiag affiliate, in the splendid setting of the Bolognese Apennines. A project that De Rigo Refrigeration delivered turnkey for the entire cold part, with cabinets, cold rooms, CO2 refrigeration system and 24/7 telemonitoring service. Maurizio Albertazzi, director of the cooperative, says: "we chose De Rigo Refrigeration after a careful Xion of various possible suppliers. We have chosen them for the quality of the service; because they offered us a commercial and technical support truly efficient, competent and above all very attentive to our specific requirements. Attention to the customer's needs in the pre-sale phase which was also confirmed during the installation time.
Thanks to C.a.S.P Valle del Brasimone for choosing us, we are really satisfied with this project. We are also proud to know that it will be for Aspiag, and its Despar affiliates, a sort of “supermarket template” to be carefully observed for the future openings and renovations.
De Rigo Refrigeration is always been committed to provide an efficient and timely service as much as possible also outside Italy, and to achieve this goal it is often crucial to establish a physical presence on the territory.
An example of this is De Rigo Cooling Equipment, based in Aarschot (Belgium). The company we created to assist our customers in Belgium and Luxembourg, countries of strategic interest for our business.
This way we can support and advise starting from the preliminary site inspection, where the installation of the cabinets is expected, to transport and final installation. Here are some pictures of the latest Carrefour market in Bonheiden, supervised by De Rigo Cooling Equipment.
Thanks to all our guys for the great job!

De Rigo Refrigeration fruit and vegetable cabinets, which are increasingly more efficient in terms of energy, are now also more performing with regard to product preservation as a result of a KtV (Kill the Virus) photocatalytic filter that maintains and even improves the quality of fruit and vegetables; it delays their ripening, with additional energy savings as a result of higher preservation temperatures.
This is the result of the partnership signed by De Rigo Refrigeration with Nanohub, a company specialised in the development of solutions based on nanomaterials for energy efficiency, quality of the environment, wellbeing of people and preservation of goods. In this regard, Nanohub has patented a photocatalytic technology for the control and elimination of ethylene, which is responsible for the ripening of fruit and vegetables, with truly amazing results.
After a period of rigorous tests carried out in its laboratories, De Rigo Refrigeration’s R&D team installed this filter on the cabinets in a Xion of supermarkets, both new openings and retrofit activities, with interesting test results already after the first weeks of being used.
In fact, the data collected highlight:
– Fruit lasting longer and with more vitamins as a result of reduced free radicals and, consequently, less oxidation of vitamins
– Up to 30% less waste and reduction of emissions for preservation
– Reduction of physiopathologies, such as apical rot, splitting and ripening defects or uneven ripening
Is it possible to slow down the ripening of fruit & vegetables without using refrigerators or artificial preservatives?
The answer is yes, thanks to a photocatalytic filter installed directly on the refrigeration cabinet, which maintains, and even improves, the quality of the fruit and vegetables, delays ripening and prevents cross-contamination with the following benefits:
– Requires low maintenance
– Fruit and vegetables can be preserved at higher temperatures with consequent energy saving
– Does not use chemical products and is therefore compatible with “BIO” productions
– Zero UV ray emissions and no decomposition waste, with minimum emission of carbon dioxide and water vapour
De Rigo Refrigeration offers Nanohub technology for all fruit & vegetable cabinets, both new and retrofit.

An important study conducted by the CEA (Commissariat pour l’Energie Atomique) has been published with the aim of evaluating the impact of the Biovitae® lamp on the survival of the infectious SARS – CoV2 virus on plastic surfaces. The study was conducted by CEA in its BSL3 laboratory under a biosafety cabinet, comparing the effect of a “control” lighting (fluorescent tubes originally mounted on a biological safety cabinet) with the effect of the Biovitae® lamp placed on 53 cm from the viral samples.
This study shows that light irradiation of dried SARS‐CoV2 on a plastic surface (polystyrene) with the Biovitae® lamp accelerates the loss of infectivity compared to the same viral preparation placed under control conditions.
Biovitae has also asked for the cancellation from the register of medical devices in Italy to enter the much broader “Blue-light germicidal bulb / lamp” category of GMDN (Global Medical Device Nomenclature) to register Biovitae as a medical device in all countries not regulated by European legislation. The GMDN, also recommended by the International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF), is currently used by over 70 national medical device regulators.

De Rigo Group teams up against the pandemic and faces market fluctuations by launching an agile organisational model to support the business and its workers.
Never as in this case can it be said that being part of a large Group makes a difference in terms of business and opportunities for workers. Faced with the market trends resulting from the pandemic, two entities of the De Rigo Group, which usually work independently, have realized that strength lies in unity. Through careful work performed jointly by the Human Resource Departments of the two companies, a virtuous circle was promptly created, on which a new organisational model is based to protect the business and workers.
De Rigo Refrigeration, a company of the De Rigo Group and a major player in the refrigeration industry, was not only scarcely affected by the adverse effects of the pandemic but, on the contrary, has recorded growing orders with tight delivery times.
Conversely, De Rigo Vision, despite having implemented major actions to contrast the inevitable downturn in the market caused by the COVID-19 emergency, has experienced a slowdown in its business.
Hence, on the one hand, an extraordinary opportunity for De Rigo Refrigeration to expand its business with a portfolio of orders that required a boost in production that was difficult to immediately meet. On the other hand, the immediate availability of De Rigo Vision’s expertise which enthusiastically lent itself to supporting colleagues in the refrigeration industry to make this opportunity a tangible reality.
As Ennio De Rigo, President of the Group, explained: “The increase in business is due to the recovery of foreign markets that had “frozen” investments during the pandemic period and to an ongoing growth in the domestic market. Added to this is a substantial increase in orders from the medical sector for refrigerated cabinets which, as we know, are necessary for the Italian vaccination plan. A unique situation, which requires extraordinary efforts to be able to meet such an increase in requests. That is why, thanks to the availability of our personnel, it was possible to promptly respond to market requests by agreeing to temporarily move some of De Rigo Vision workers to De Rigo Refrigeration production departments. Colleagues in the eyewear sector could thus resume their work 100% while enjoying a new, important job experience. An outstanding example of job rotation, teaming up and being part of a great Group”.
Our historical customer SPAR in Belgium chose a total black layout for the refrigeration cabinets of this super stylish supermarket in Helchteren, in the Flemish province of Limburg. Angel vertical multi-deck with frameless doors; Patmos 2.0 range for the server over counters, Timor 2.0 for frozen food and ice cream area; and Onyx range for the plug-in zone. Thanks to SPAR for this wonderful collaboration, we are already working on 2021 projects, follow us!
De Rigo Refrigeration’s “turnkey” refrigeration project for the visually appealing Despar supermarket at the Cortina Cooperative shopping centre has recently been completed.
It was a team effort that was well coordinated by the technical team of Aspiag Service for Despar; the design of our cabinets was enhanced with quality materials linked to Alpine tradition, such as larch wood, with pictures of the world’s most beautiful mountains in the background. A premium supermarket where food shopping is like going on a journey to discover the wonders of Cortina and the Dolomites.
A strong focus was placed on aesthetics and on customer and employee health by choosing lamps with Biovitae sanitisation technology, a De Rigo exclusive for the commercial refrigeration sector, which significantly reduces bacterial proliferation and protects against the risk of infections of microbiological origin, including Covid-19.
And a transcritical CO2 power plant, with liquid ejector, a system that ensures minimum overheating and high energy efficiency. The De Rigo Refrigeration Service provides telemonitoring 24/7, 365 days a year.
It is a fabulous project that we are extremely proud of. Many thanks to Aspiag Service and the Cortina Cooperative for choosing us, and a special thanks goes to the director, Emanuela de Zanna, for interviewing us. We look forward to seeing you in Cortina!
DRR’s “turnkey” project for the remodelling in Quito, Ecuador, of the historic supermarket of our customer Santamaria. A total renovation of the store entrusted to De Rigo Refrigeration for the entire cold part, with the installation of a CO2 rack system, one of the first in Ecuador. A booster refrigeration system with a power of 97 Kw in medium temperature and 23 Kw in low temperature, completed by gas cooler and inter cooler.
This is the remodelling of an historic Santamaria store, opened in 1979. This is the location where an entrepreneurial history spanning 40 years began, and which now has 37 supermarkets throughout Ecuador.
Despite the difficulties of the historical moment that South America is experiencing, Santamaria has invested and renovated this supermarket, once again choosing De Rigo Refrigeration cabinets, cold rooms, refrigeration system and telemonitoring service.
Congratulations to all the South America DRR sales team for this fantastic project, and special thanks to our partner Ofrinsur and last but not least to Santamaria for the loyalty in choosing DRR!
Exclusively for commercial refrigeration, DRR offers the Biovitae patent, which prevents infection using light, including Covid-19.
By combining light frequencies, BIOVITAE® technology reduces bacterial proliferation, sanitising environments and protecting people against infection, including Covid-19.
For its cabinets, De Rigo Refrigeration exclusively installs lighting with BIOVITAE® patented technology by Nextsense, which continuously provides a sanitising action by combining electromagnetic wavelengths of the visible spectrum of light. In particular, as reported also on MedRxiv, a website providing medical information, it has proved capable of photoinactivating COVID-19 and other microorganisms.
When exposed to light with this specific wave spectrum, the oxygen-dependent microorganisms are subjected to photoexcitation, causing oxidative damage and, as a result, killing the microbial or viral cell.
The first tests showed that the use of Biovitae LED lights significantly reduces the bacterial load. As stated in the note issued by the Italian Ministry of Defence on 23 June 2020, the military polyclinic “Policlinico Militare del Celio” is conducting more in-depth research involving other European laboratories and, specifically, military laboratories in Germany and Sweden.
BIOVITAE® is a microbicidal (non-UV) LED light developed by Desmoled for commercial refrigeration applications, commissioned by Biovitae, which is mounted exclusively on De Rigo Refrigeration cabinets.
While awaiting further confirmation from ongoing tests, BIOVITAE® technology has already been registered with the Italian Ministry of Health as a Class 1 Medical Device and does not harm living beings or cause damage to materials.
(Patents WO2017179082 and WO2018020527).

We are pleased to present you today with an absolutely innovative project which we contributed to by supplying our cabinets.
It is the organic supermarket in Dottenfelder Hof, located north of Frankfurt, between Bad Vilbel and Dortelweil. This supermarket, futuristic even from a design standpoint, represents the last step of a project entailing management of a 190-hectare agricultural area according to strict rules linked to absolute respect for nature, society and local culture.
This model is very widespread and successful in Germany, where they give the utmost attention to the quality of raw materials, the product and naturally food storage in an eco-friendly “green” perspective, also thanks to the use of a CO2 rack system. We are extremely grateful to Dottenfelder Hof for having chosen DRR and our local partner RS Kälte Klima GmbH for the entire cold part; another important step in our growth on the German territory.

De Rigo Refrigeration has been selected by the Veneto Region for a pilot project linked to the reopening safely of the production activity, in order to check their applicability on a large scale.
The project, which involved a sample of companies, included the supply of about 300 serological tests for the detection of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (IgM / IgG) to be carried out on all employees who have decided to participate voluntarily in the programme.
No De Rigo Refrigeration employees tested positive and therefore it was not necessary to resort to any further analysis. Another important step to return to normal production, but always with an eye on workers' health.
Innovation, this is the key word for this supermarket in Syracuse where CONAD has once again chosen De Rigo Refrigeration for the whole cold area.

For its new supermarket in Rodenbach, the German chain Wasgau relied on the expertise and design skills of the Italian company De Rigo Refrigeration. By working together with our RS Kälte-Klima refrigerator technician, we were able to open this energy-efficient point of sales, which has PAN-DUR doors, eco-friendly LED lighting and uses CO2 refrigerant.
