Refrigeration Manufacture

Star Refrigeration has two manufacturing facilities both based in Glasgow with easy access from all major transport links. A 3,200 m2 industrial unit in Westway and a 900 m2 factory located at the company’s HQ in Thornliebank.

Star’s success is based on the principle that we maximise pre-installation package units that are manufactured by our multi-skilled workforce and delivered directly to the site. Our packages can be fully commissioned on our purpose-built test rig.
