The company has highly qualified teams active on the ground. Both technical and commercial support units – staffed by specialists with extensive multi-year track records in the sector – are fully operational to provide immediate project design, technical consultation and client support. Clients have access to immediate stock availability with a strategic Rochester warehouse housing high-efficiency chillers, spare parts and process cooling equipment ready for dispatch across North America. The company offers in-house technical backing for regional contractors and mechanical engineers, providing thermal load calculations, system sizing and customized system layout. It also offers on-site commissioning support, factory-backed maintenance and specialized technical assistance to guarantee maximum plant uptime.
The Rochester facility places RPS Cooling in close proximity to major industrial corridors across the Northeast and Midwest. The company’s process cooling portfolio targets energy-intensive manufacturing sectors where precise thermal management is critical. Plastics and polymers: Accurate mold temperature control for injection, extrusion and blow molding to optimize cycle times and ensure product quality. Food and beverage: Reliable process cooling for pasteurization lines, bottling operations and temperature-controlled processing. Chemical and pharmaceutical: Strict thermal regulation for synthesis reactors, chemical processing and cleanroom HVAC systems operating under rigorous regulatory compliance.
RPS Cooling USA enters the market as industrial plant operators face growing pressure from rising energy costs, EPA AIM Act refrigerant transitions and decarbonization mandates. The company’s product line incorporates low-GWP and natural refrigerants – such as propane (R-290) and CO2 – alongside integrated free-cooling economizers, variable-frequency inverter technology and heat recovery capabilities.
All units feature remote connectivity designed for seamless integration into plant-wide SCADA and building management systems, enabling real-time performance tracking and predictive maintenance. In recent facility retrofits, replacing legacy chillers with these modern systems has enabled plant operators to reduce electricity bills by more than 25%.
With local inventory on the ground, a fully operational team of top-tier technical and commercial experts and proven leadership at the helm, RPS Cooling USA is positioned to accelerate the transition toward more sustainable, high-efficiency industrial refrigeration across the American manufacturing landscape.
