HOME TO HIGHLY EFFICIENT REFRIGERATION PRODUCTS AND COMPONENTS...

Overview

Palfridge Limited is a leading refrigeration manufacturer in Southern Africa, recognized not by production volume, but by superior design, uncompromising quality, and continuous innovation. Since commencing operations in 2001, our mission has been to deliver high-quality, fully featured, reliable refrigeration solutions that offer exceptional value for money. While we may be newer than some competitors, our strength lies in our people. Our team includes some of the most skilled and experienced professionals in the industry. Palfridge was the first manufacturer to introduce SABS-approved safety locks on refrigeration units, setting new standards for safety and reliability. We are committed to exceeding customer expectations through ongoing product development and re-engineering, ensuring our solutions remain aligned with evolving industry standards and customer needs.

Factory Location

Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility spans 18,000 m² on a 44,000 m² site and is strategically located in Matsapha, the largest and most centrally positioned industrial area in Eswatini. This prime location provides convenient access to key outsourced services, including injection-moulded components, wire harnesses, plastic extrusion, metal pressings, gaskets, packaging materials, and other locally sourced raw materials. From Matsapha, we are ideally positioned to efficiently supply the South African market, as well as SADC and COMESA countries. For international destinations beyond the region, finished products are containerised at our factory and shipped via Durban Harbour, ensuring reliable and streamlined export logistics.
