Why Chłodnia Janus

A deliberately narrow specialisation, our own production and storage facilities, and long experience serving buyers abroad.

Specialisation, not a broad catalogue

We concentrate on a handful of commodities and run them in large production batches. That keeps costs optimised and quality repeatable.

IQF fluidised freezing

Two fluidisation tunnels with a combined capacity of 200 tonnes per 24 h. The product stays free-flowing and the structure of the raw material is preserved.

Our own high-bay cold store

5,000 tonnes of storage capacity. All cold store buildings were designed and built from the ground up.

Export experience

Sales to England, Germany, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Italy and Scandinavia.

The company

A cold store with tradition, rebuilt from scratch

Learn more

The company has operated in the frozen food market since 2004, when the owner acquired a cold store with several decades of tradition in the food industry. In 2009 an investment programme began that covered the entire production zone — every cold store building was designed and built from the ground up and the plant was fitted with new production lines.

Today Chłodnia Janus is a wholly Polish-owned business, known as a frozen food producer in Europe and valued by its customers for knowledge and experience.

Specialisation

Onion accounts for 80% of production volume

Our product portfolio strategy is built on specialisation. The plant concentrates on processing a few commodities, of which onion is the strategic one. The remaining raw materials — rhubarb, tomato and courgette as well as sour cherry and strawberry — are processed in large production batches. This specialisation is what makes production cost optimisation possible.

Technology

Fluidised freezing

In a fluidisation tunnel the pieces of product are suspended in a stream of cold air and freeze individually. The goods never set into a block, and after thawing they hold their shape and colour.
