Cofi and DewFresh: 50 Years of a Successful Partnership in Food Preservation

Cofi celebrates 50 years of collaboration with DewFresh, a leading Maltese producer and distributor of meat products

It was 1975 when DewFresh chose Cofi as its supplier of refrigerated vehicle bodies to ensure optimal preservation of its meat products. Since then, year after year, our technology has supported its mission: bringing safe, fresh, high-quality products to market.

Thanks to our solutions, DewFresh has been able to rely on a trusted partner throughout its growth, becoming one of the leading names in the Maltese and international meat markets.

This milestone tells a story of trust, mutual growth and a customer–supplier partnership that has endured and evolved over time.


How has the market changed in 50 years?

The food industry has undergone a radical transformation since the 1970s. Back then, demand was largely local; today, the market is global, with far stricter quality standards and regulations.

Today, refrigerated vehicle bodies must deliver precision, energy efficiency and environmental sustainability: values that are fundamental to Franger.

EU regulations have also raised traceability and preservation requirements, making advanced refrigeration solutions essential. In recent years, the focus on lower energy consumption and reduced environmental impact has changed how refrigeration systems are designed and used.

Against this backdrop, Cofi and DewFresh have continued to innovate together, turning a simple commercial relationship into a partnership built on shared growth.


Today, 50 years on, we look to the future with the same determination: to continue providing solutions that help DewFresh and all our customers tackle the challenges of an increasingly competitive, dynamic and sustainability-conscious market.

The partnership between Cofi and DewFresh shows how long-standing collaborations can become real drivers of innovation and leadership. Fifty years later, we celebrate not just an anniversary, but a story of shared growth that will continue to inspire our next milestones.


Casale Monferrato is the heart of the refrigeration industry: we belong here.
