The WESTERN Group came into existence in the year 1972 with the setting up of Western Refrigeration Private Limited by our founder Mr. Bhupinder Singh Machre.
The company initially began with trading and imports of various types of metals, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning equipment and their spare parts. These trading activities were primarily to cater to the needs of various large Indian companies in the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning industry during a period in which there were a lot of restrictions on industry by the Government.
However, with the introduction of the liberalization process of the Indian economy, the year 1991 marked an important change in the profile of the WESTERN Group. We diversified from trading in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Products and their Spare Parts into the fast growing Beverage Dispensing and Commercial Refrigeration Equipment Industry. The group has since grown very rapidly and has expanded its activities from merely trading to the manufacturing sector. In the year 1997 WESTERN has set up its first plant for manufacturing Visi Coolers / Glass Door Merchandiser and subsequently has set up another facility in the year 1999 for the manufacture of Deep Freezer and Chest / Visi Coolers. WESTERN has today grown to become one of the largest manufacturers of commercial refrigeration equipment in the country with an installed capacity of over 2,00,000 units per annum from its three State-of-the Art Plants.
