KOLDTECH
Asia-Pacific Commercial Refrigeration & Cooking Equipment; Authorised Dealer | Jacio Indicius
Engineered in Thailand. Backed by the Welbilt Group. Built for Asia, the Middle East & Beyond.
Commercial refrigeration occupies an unusual position in kitchen equipment planning: it is often the last category to receive detailed specification attention, yet it is the one whose failure creates the most immediate and most severe operational consequences. A combi oven that fails can usually be substituted with alternative cooking methods for a service. A dishwasher that malfunctions creates delays but can be managed through the shift. A walk-in cold room that loses temperature overnight can destroy an entire day’s ingredient inventory; creating financial losses, food safety incidents, and service cancellations that cascade far beyond the immediate equipment failure.
Koldtech is a purpose-built commercial refrigeration brand; established in 1998 under the name Welbilt Manufacturing (Thailand) Ltd and based in Bangkok with manufacturing in Prachinburi, Thailand; that has been engineering refrigeration for Asia-Pacific commercial kitchens for over 25 years. In October 2015, Koldtech became part of the Welbilt Group of Companies; one of the world’s largest commercial foodservice equipment organisations, whose portfolio of award-winning brands includes Cleveland™, Convotherm®, Delfield®, Frymaster®, Garland®, Kolpak®, Lincoln®, Manitowoc®, Merrychef®, and Multiplex®. This group membership provides Koldtech access to engineering expertise, quality standards, and aftermarket service infrastructure that no purely regional manufacturer can match.
Koldtech’s product range extends beyond refrigeration through the Thermic brand; covering gas and electric cooking equipment and custom stainless steel fabrication, making the Koldtech/Thermic platform relevant to kitchens seeking comprehensive cold-and-hot equipment coverage from a single regional manufacturer. Jacio Indicius is proud to supply Koldtech products across India, the Middle East, Gulf countries, and Asia.

The Koldtech Product Range; Complete Refrigeration for Commercial Kitchens
M-Series; Reach-In Upright Refrigerators & Freezers
The Koldtech M-Series is the core reach-in commercial refrigeration range; solid-door and glass-door upright units in single, two-section, and three-section configurations covering both chilling (2°C to 8°C) and freezing (-18°C to -22°C) temperature requirements. The M-Series is engineered specifically for the ambient temperature conditions of South and Southeast Asia and the Middle East; markets where summer ambient temperatures regularly exceed 35°C and where European-designed refrigeration equipment often underperforms due to inadequate condenser capacity for high-ambient-temperature operation.
| M-Series Model | Configuration | Temperature | Primary Application |
| M-Series Single Section (Solid Door) | 1 door; full-height reach-in | 2°C to 8°C (Chiller) or -18°C to -22°C (Freezer) | Restaurant and hotel kitchen cold storage; ingredient holding at cooking stations |
| M-Series Two-Section (Solid Door) | 2 doors; full-height reach-in | Chiller or Freezer | Medium-to-large kitchen cold storage; dual-access for high-frequency use |
| M-Series Three-Section (Solid Door) | 3 doors; full-height reach-in | Chiller or Freezer | High-volume kitchen cold storage; large hotel and institutional kitchen applications |
| M-Series Glass Door Variants | 1, 2, or 3 glass doors | Chiller | Front-of-house display refrigeration; grab-and-go; pastry display; beverage storage |
| Undercounter Refrigerator/Freezer | Under-bench installation format | Chiller or Freezer | Cooking line prep station ingredient holding; bar cold storage; service counter refrigeration |
| Sandwich Unit | Under-bench with refrigerated top-mounted rail system | Chiller | Sandwich, salad, and cold prep station; ingredients held at temperature during food assembly |
| Pizza Make-Up Unit | Under-bench with refrigerated top | Chiller | Pizza preparation stations; ingredient holding during pizza assembly service |

Blast Chillers & Blast Freezers; Cook-Chill Safety & Quality
Blast chilling and blast freezing are HACCP-mandated food safety technologies in any operation running a cook-chill production model; and increasingly standard in forward-thinking commercial kitchens that want to improve both food safety compliance and operational efficiency through advance preparation. Koldtech’s blast chiller and blast freezer range is designed for catering operations where food is partially or fully cooked, blast-chilled or blast-frozen for storage, and reheated before service.
- Koldtech Blast Chiller: rapidly reduces cooked food temperature from +70°C to +3°C within 90 minutes; meeting HACCP requirement and dramatically extending safe holding life of prepared food
- Koldtech Blast Freezer: reduces cooked food temperature from +70°C to -18°C within 4 hours; enabling long-term frozen storage of prepared items without quality degradation from slow freezing
- Multiple capacity configurations: from compact models for restaurant kitchen use to large-capacity units for institutional production kitchens
