AR Racking and Begra boost efficiency in ultra-cold storage for FruitMasters

• Begra, AR Racking’s official distributor, renews storage systems in over 300 ULO cold rooms.
• A tailored solution ensuring durability, easy maintenance, and full compatibility with existing installations.

AR Racking, a global leader in industrial storage systems, has strengthened its position with the recent renovation and expansion of the Drive-in racking system for FruitMasters, one of the largest fresh fruit operators in the Netherlands. Thanks to the expertise and support of Begra, AR Racking’s official distributor in the region, the capacity and efficiency of more than 300 ULO cold storage rooms have been improved, preserving fruit from over 400 local producers.

In an environment with constant temperatures between 0 and 5 degrees Celsius, ultra-cold preservation of fruits such as Kanzi apples and Migo pears requires a precise and reliable storage system. AR Racking has applied all its engineering and technology expertise to ensure each installation meets the highest standards of durability and ease of maintenance, while also guaranteeing full compatibility with FruitMasters’ existing systems.

The partnership between Begra and FruitMasters is well established. During annual inspections, damage was detected in old racks with hard-to-find spare parts, prompting the decision to renew with AR Racking solutions, recognized for their quality and immediate availability of components. This feature allows for rapid replacement of any damaged parts, extending the lifespan of the installations and reducing costs.

“It is essential that the new racks are installed according to our specifications and compatible with the rest of the system. Thanks to the flexibility and robustness of the AR Racking solutions installed by Begra, we can operate with complete peace of mind and ensure the continuity of our operations,” says Dirk Jan Brommersma, Shipping Manager at FruitMasters.

Close collaboration with Begra was key to the project’s success, enabling the new racks to be installed according to FruitMasters’ technical requirements and ensuring a quick response to any support or parts replacement needs.

For FruitMasters, this investment means being “ready for the future,” with robust and flexible systems that preserve product quality and freshness while optimizing energy efficiency and reducing operating costs.

With this project, AR Racking reaffirms its commitment to leadership and ongoing support for distributors and clients, consolidating its position as a strategic partner in innovative industrial storage solutions worldwide.
