Multi-deck dairy, open frozen islands, deli prep, produce walk-ins, meat-cutting rooms, in-store bakery, and the central rack systems behind them — when they're DX-served. Loss-prevention is the game; product shrink from a single warm display case eats more margin than the service call ever costs.
Independent grocers, ethnic and specialty markets, regional chains, co-ops. We service DX (direct-expansion), CO2 transcritical, and glycol secondary-loop systems.

A multi-deck case running 4°F warm doesn't fail an inspection — it just spoils $800 of dairy a week.
Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services regulates grocery food storage. Different audit cadence, different paperwork. We tune monitoring exports to FDACS expectations.
Open multi-decks fight humidity, store airflow, and customer traffic. We troubleshoot the system holistically — not just the case in front of you.
