History
SCM REF Africa has been a leader in complete refrigeration systems and solutions in South Africa since 1999.
In 2002 we developed the first full secondary refrigeration system in South Africa, manufactured in our Cape Town facility, which supplied the fluid for low and medium temperature applications at one of the country’s leading supermarkets.
Since then we have constantly worked at the forefront of technology advances, manufacturing Screw Compressor Packaged Units, Containerised Refrigeration Plant, Hot Water Reclaim and AC comfort Heating, Multiplex Systems with Variable Speed and Soft Starter Technology, Weatherproof Packaged Units with Integrated Condenser, Low Temp Subcritical CO2 Systems and most recently we are able to offer and manufacture Trans-Critical CO2 Solutions.
In 2007 we implemented the ISO 9001:2000 quality management system and achieved certification through Dekra. We were recertified in 2009 under the ISO 9001:2008 standard and again 2018 with both facilities being certified to the ISO 9001:2015 standard.
In November 2017 we changed our name and corporate identity from Phoenix Racks to SCM Ref Africa. The reason for this change was to align ourselves with Beijer Refs global strategy of focusing on its OEM Division. We joined manufacturing facilities SCM Frigo, SCM REF Sweden and SCM Ref France as part of this new division.
SCM REF Africa acquired the Recam division from Metraclark (Pty) Ltd effective January 2019. This was done to split the manufacturing and distribution businesses of the Group. Recam reverted back to a Heat Exchanger manufacturer with SCM REF Africa responsible for the manufacture of all compressor products.
With ongoing local research and development, collaboration with SCM Frigo and a focus on training, we are continually striving to develop the most comprehensive and sustainable product lines that meet and exceed local and international quality standards.
