Self-standing refrigerated store in the Dominican Republic

Introduction

On this occasion, the Kide team headed to the Dominican Republic to build a self-standing refrigerated store, whose key features include high energy efficiency and minimal maintenance.

According to Iñigo Elordi, Business Manager for Latin America at Kide, this market has been experiencing fantastic growth in recent years and forecasts are extremely positive. Our customers’ satisfaction is our best endorsement and we’ve been able to win positions and develop an increasing number of projects in more countries in this area.

Customer requirements

The customer was clear about what they wanted for their store:

• Build it as fast as possible using high-quality
• A guarantee of energy efficiency for the store, optimising energy expenditure as far as possible.
• A facility that is easy to maintain.
• Have the entire project centralised through a single contact person.

Solution provided by Kide

After receiving the project request and specifications, the Kide team got to work to meet the customer’s expectations in every sense.

At Kide, we offer an all-encompassing service that starts with our Sales Technical Office designing each material, unit and detail for the project. Then our Production team springs into action and prepares everything. Then our Logistics Department got involved and landed on Dominican soil within the agreed time frame.

But our work didn’t end there: that’s when our specialised assembly team received, installed and started up the facility.

This might all sound obvious, but by fully completing each stage we were able to fully exceed our customer’s expectations and leave them happy and willing to recommend our services. The comprehensive nature of our service makes us stand out from other manufacturers.

The constructed facility includes a floor, roof, panels, doors and refrigeration units by Kide. In addition, it stands out due to its simplicity, eliminating areas set aside for machinery rooms, which makes for simpler maintenance.

Achievements

If there’s one thing in particular worth highlighting about this project it’s the optimisation.

• Construction times were reduced considerably.
• Electricity consumption was optimised as far as possible thanks to the quality of the materials themselves and the facility’s design.
• Equipment maintenance has been minimised.
• The areas required for machinery rooms were eliminated.
