About TEKO Kältetechnik
TEKO Gesellschaft für Kältetechnik mbH, headquartered in Altenstadt (Hesse), has been developing and manufacturing refrigeration and heat solutions with the natural refrigerant CO₂ (R744) since 1982. The portfolio comprises CO₂ combined systems of the ROXSTA series for food retail, logistics and industry as well as CO₂ chillers and heat pumps of the COOLSHIFT series (up to 1.5 MW of cooling or 3 MW of heat) for HVAC, process cooling, data centers and district/local heating networks. Manufacturing in Altenstadt includes tube processing of copper tubes (bent, beaded, Bionic Design), welding and soldering of tube joints, and control panel assembly for Wurm control electronics, followed by pressure testing, helium leak testing and electrical functional testing. As an OEM partner, TEKO realizes prototype manufacturing, testing and series transfer with quantities from 20 to 2,000. The group includes the sister companies Frigopol (Frauental, Austria, custom industrial refrigeration) and Vitalis (Kelowna, Canada, CO₂ refrigeration and heat pump systems). With around 300 employees, subsidiaries in Austria, Poland, Thailand and Colombia, and sales teams in several European countries, TEKO operates worldwide.

Refrigerants & Materials
CO₂ (R744)
Natural refrigerant with GWP = 1 for combined systems, chillers and heat pumps – compliant with the F-Gas Regulation.
Copper (tubes)
Bent and beaded copper tubes with Bionic Design minimize solder joints and leakage risk.
Steel (construction)
Corrosion-resistant steel construction for durable system frames and enclosures.

Quality & Testing
Before delivery, every system undergoes a pressure test, leak testing with helium fine leak test (95% helium), electrical functional testing and visual inspection; tested weld and solder joints are marked with a seal. TEKO is certified to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 (TÜV SÜD, valid until 20.01.2027).
