ICS Cool Energy acquires Tricool Engineering

London -- ICS Cool Energy has acquired Tricool Engineering as part of a strategy to increase market penetration and expand its temperature controlled products and services to the refrigeration and air conditioning industry.

With its manufacturing base in Fareham, Hampshire, Tricool is the UK’s largest bespoke chiller and thermoregulator manufacturer, supplying markets worldwide, said an ICS statement. The acquisition, it added, positions ICS to offer the industry a wide portfolio of companies that also includes ICS Systems and Cool Energy.

“Tricool’s industry knowledge and large manufacturing base for bespoke products is an exciting venture that will help drive our business forward,” said Philip Wilson, ICS Cool energy director. “Our plans for ICS’ future growth include investment in manufacturing."

ICS supplies packaged chillers under brands including Thermocold, Climaveneta and MTA’s TAE range of chillers. Cool Energy is a chiller and air conditioning rental company operating across Europe, alongside ICS Services, which offers a national installation and breakdown service, using parts available from stock.

ICS also provides a wide range of services including bespoke installations such as pipework, water tanks, pump arrangements, glycol, air blast coolers and tailored project management.
