The Birmingham expansion joins ICS Cool Energy’s existing locations in Totton and Bradford.
“By enhancing our service capability in one of the UK’s most important industrial regions, ICS Cool Energy is positioning itself for continuous growth and reinforcing our commitment to delivering fast, flexible, and sustainable temperature control solutions,” said Dave Palmer, country leader ICS Cool Energy UK. “This is more than a new building; it’s a long-term investment in how we serve our customers. We’re strengthening our ability to respond quickly, deliver efficiently, and support our customers with the level of service they expect from us.”
The new full-scale depot, warehouse and modern office space, total more than 42,000 square feet and have been designed to mirror the operational capacity of ICS Cool Energy’s headquarters in Totton. By consolidating equipment hire, service and sales operations under one roof and closer to customers in the region, the facility is expected to reduce lead times, improve logistics, and increase the availability of units for hire and purchase, ultimately enhancing service across the country.
The site features racking for efficient storage of process-dedicated i-Chillers, as well as Cold Store units area, supporting quick deployment of units. A dedicated production space has also been designated to allow ICS Cool Energy engineers to tailor equipment to individual customer requirements. The Birmingham depot will also include a testing infrastructure to verify the performance of i-Chiller and heat pump units, ensuring they are in optimal condition before deployment to customers.
Selected for its strategic location and high environmental standards, the new site has achieved BREEAM Excellent certification. Sustainability features include solar energy generation, water catchment systems, and electric vehicles charging stations, aligning with ICS Cool Energy’s commitment to sustainable operations.
