For supermarket chains, commercial refrigeration equipment needs to do more than keep products cold.
The refrigerator becomes part of the store environment. Its appearance, product visibility, storage capacity, lighting, temperature control and brand presentation can all influence the overall retail experience.
This project involved a supermarket chain in Sweden looking for customized commercial refrigeration equipment for beverage and dairy product storage.
Instead of selecting a standard off-the-shelf refrigerator, the customer required a combination of full glass doors, LED lighting, additional shelving, branded lightbox design and specified refrigeration components.
LINKOOL supplied customized KLG-1880 and KLD-1880 commercial display refrigerators, adapting the equipment to the customer's functional and visual requirements.
The cooperation has continued for one year, with a total project purchasing value of approximately US$300,000 and repeat purchasing already established.

Project information is based on the supplied customer case data. Product configuration and specifications may vary according to individual orders.
The equipment would be used in supermarket stores for beverage and dairy product storage.
This means the refrigeration system needed to support regular retail operation, where products are accessed and replenished frequently throughout the day.
For the customer, refrigeration performance was therefore considered together with product organization and display.
The customer requested a full glass-door configuration.
For supermarket beverage and dairy sections, visibility is an important part of merchandising.
A transparent glass door allows shoppers to see the products without opening the cabinet, while the illuminated interior helps create a more visible product presentation.
The combination of:
Full Glass Doors + LED Lighting
allows the refrigerator to function as both a refrigeration unit and a retail display cabinet.
The customer requested additional shelves to increase usable display space.
This requirement was particularly relevant for beverage and dairy products, where products may need to be arranged according to:
Adjustable or additional shelving can help retailers make better use of the vertical cabinet space and create a more organized product presentation.
The customer requested a Secop compressor and Elitech temperature controller.
Selecting specific components can be important for international supermarket projects because buyers may have established technical preferences or maintenance requirements.
LINKOOL incorporated the requested component configuration into the project rather than supplying a standard configuration without modification.
This is one example of how commercial refrigeration equipment can be adapted for individual B2B purchasing requirements.
The customer also required a customized logo lightbox.
This requirement moved the project beyond simple refrigeration equipment procurement.
The refrigerator needed to integrate with the customer's visual identity and store environment.
A branded lightbox can provide an additional area for:
For supermarket chains, this type of customization can help refrigeration equipment become part of the overall store design rather than appearing as a separate piece of equipment.
Based on the customer's requirements, LINKOOL supplied the KLG-1880 and KLD-1880 series with customized configurations.
The project combined refrigeration functionality with retail display requirements.
Cabinet Size:
1880 × 750 × 2080 mm
Application:
Beverage and dairy product storage
Door:
Full glass door
Lighting:
LED interior lighting
Compressor:
Secop
Temperature Controller:
Elitech
Shelving:
Additional shelving according to customer requirements
Branding:
Customized logo lightbox
This configuration was designed around the customer's supermarket application rather than simply selecting a standard cabinet from a catalog.
One of the key characteristics of this project was the depth of customization.
The customer required customization across three main areas:
The customer specified the refrigeration compressor and temperature controller.
The full glass door, LED lighting and customized lightbox were incorporated into the equipment.
Additional shelving was added to accommodate the customer's product display requirements.
This approach allows a commercial refrigerator to be adapted to the actual requirements of a supermarket chain.
The KLG-1880 and KLD-1880 units are used primarily for beverage and dairy product storage.
Typical products in this type of supermarket application may include:
The full glass-door design provides visibility of the refrigerated products, while the shelving system helps organize different product categories.
For supermarkets, this creates a combination of:
Cold Storage
Product Display
Brand Visibility
Traditional refrigeration equipment focuses primarily on storage.
However, supermarket refrigeration also plays an important merchandising role.
With full glass doors, shoppers can see the products before opening the cabinet.
This can help retailers:
When combined with LED lighting, the refrigerated cabinet becomes a more visible part of the sales environment.
Lighting is another important element of this project.
The customer requested LED lighting to illuminate the refrigerator interior.
For beverage and dairy displays, adequate lighting helps shoppers identify:
This is particularly relevant in supermarket environments where multiple products are displayed together.
The goal is not simply to make the refrigerator brighter, but to create a more organized and visible product presentation.
The customer specifically emphasized appearance and brand integration.
According to the project feedback, the customized refrigerators were considered highly attractive and were able to integrate well with the overall store design.
This highlights an important consideration for modern supermarket projects:
Commercial refrigeration equipment is increasingly part of the retail environment, not simply a piece of back-of-house equipment.
For supermarket chains, cabinet appearance can therefore be considered alongside refrigeration performance and storage capacity.
For this project, LINKOOL's service covered customization from the refrigeration system to the external presentation and internal storage configuration.
The general process can be structured as:
The customer provides the intended application, product types, store requirements and preferred configuration.
Core refrigeration components and cabinet specifications are confirmed.
Glass doors, lighting, branding and other visual requirements are confirmed.
Shelf quantity and storage configuration are adjusted according to the customer's merchandising requirements.
The customized refrigeration equipment enters production according to the confirmed specifications.
The finished equipment is inspected and tested according to the applicable production and product requirements.
The completed order is prepared for shipment to the customer's market.
The cooperation with this Swedish supermarket customer has continued for approximately one year.
The project has reached an approximate purchasing value of US$300,000, and the customer has already placed repeat orders.
According to the customer's feedback, the customized refrigeration equipment was positively received in several areas.
The customer highlighted the attractive appearance of the customized cabinets and their integration with the supermarket's overall design.
The customized lightbox and LED lighting provided additional opportunities for brand presentation.
The customer reported satisfaction with the refrigeration efficiency and temperature stability during daily operation.
The customer also expressed positive feedback regarding the cabinet's insulation performance.
Based on the customer's experience, repeat purchasing has already taken place, supporting continued cooperation between the two companies.
The customer's feedback focused on both the visual and functional aspects of the project.
The customized refrigerators were described as fitting well with the store's overall design while providing a strong platform for brand presentation.
During regular supermarket operation, the customer also expressed satisfaction with the refrigeration performance, temperature stability and insulation performance.
This combination of custom appearance + refrigeration functionality + repeat purchasing provides practical experience from an actual supermarket application.
This project illustrates several important considerations for supermarket refrigeration procurement.
Customization is not limited to adding a company logo.
For this project, customization covered:
Refrigeration Components
Temperature Controller
Glass Doors
LED Lighting
Shelf Configuration
Branded Lightbox
This demonstrates how a commercial refrigeration manufacturer can adapt equipment to a supermarket's operational and visual requirements.
A supermarket refrigerator has two functions:
Preserve Products
and
Present Products
The combination of glass doors, LED lighting and organized shelving allows refrigeration equipment to become part of the merchandising system.
A standard catalog model may not always meet the requirements of a supermarket chain.
Different customers may have specific requirements for:
The ability to discuss and implement these requirements is an important part of B2B refrigeration supply.
LINKOOL provides commercial refrigeration equipment for international B2B customers, including:
Our product range includes:
Upright Beverage Refrigerators

For projects requiring specific cabinet dimensions, refrigeration components, shelving, lighting or branding, the configuration can be discussed according to the application and order requirements.
If you are sourcing commercial supermarket refrigerators, glass door beverage coolers or customized display refrigeration equipment, the requirements should be evaluated from both the refrigeration and retail perspectives.
Consider:
LINKOOL can work with B2B buyers to develop a suitable configuration based on these requirements.
This Swedish supermarket project demonstrates how a commercial refrigeration unit can be customized around a real retail environment.
From Secop refrigeration components and Elitech temperature control to full glass doors, LED lighting, additional shelving and branded lightboxes, every major configuration was selected around the customer's application.
With approximately US$300,000 in purchasing value within one year and repeat orders already established, this project represents an ongoing B2B cooperation rather than a one-time product transaction.
