Echo Cold Rooms started in March 1997 as a manufacturer and supplier of insulated panels. We occupy ±4500m² factory and office space which is owned by our property company, owned by the same share holders. Our earlier projects included cold and freezer rooms in both South Africa and neighbouring countries.

We soon expanded to meet the demand for quality panels in the poultry industry.

When the requirement for more comprehensive assistance to the poultry farmer became evident, we started manufacturing steel structures. The steel workshop expanded rapidly and to such an extent that 900 tons of steel structures were manufactured and oven treated during 2012. We acquired self loading concrete mixers and power floats that enabled us to cast floors to perfection, regardless of weather changes. Recently we installed IBR roll formers so that roof sheeting can be rolled to the required length for each project.

By using our own trucks and trailers, we ensure that all materials are delivered timeously and in pristine condition.

During 2012 – 2013 we averaged the successful completion of 80 chicken houses per year.

In order to promote and favour our panel manufacturing side, we decided to supply panels to refrigeration contractors rather than compete with them in the refrigeration market. We therefore shifted our focus to manufacturing and construction of panels only.

Echo Cold Rooms will strive to stay abreast of new trends and developments in the panel manufacturing industry, ensuring our continued place as a leader panel manufacturer in South Africa. We passionately research and pursue improvements in chicken housing, aiming to empower the farmer to achieve better results and produce chickens more cost effectively.

• to manufacture and supply a quality, world class insulated panel
• to handle the complete construction of a customized building and to deliver, within reasonable timescales, at the right price and with excellent finish and the quality that distinguishes us from the rest, a successful project.

Echo Cold Rooms will always endeavour to preferably avoid or at least minimize disruption and destruction of existing eco systems. An environmental impact study is a pre-requisite for any chicken housing development.

Upon completion of the project, all rubble is removed from the site. At the factory polystyrene off-cuts are granulated for recycling and other waste products are disposed of in the manner prescribed by the municipal council.
