Uzbekistan Builds Largest Korzinka Cold Storage Hub

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — Russian company Ingenium, based in Rostov-on-Don, has completed the installation of a refrigeration system for the multi-temperature distribution center of Korzinka under construction in Tashkent. The facility is expected to become the largest of its kind in the country.

The project includes the creation of low- and medium-temperature storage chambers, refrigerated loading areas, and temperature-controlled corridors. The total cooling capacity of the system amounts to 1.8 MW.

According to available data, the distribution center will maintain temperature conditions ranging from minus 23 to plus 20 degrees Celsius. The total area of the complex reaches 14,500 square meters, with a capacity exceeding 8,000 pallet positions.

Co-founder of Ingenium Khristofor Dzhibgashvili stated that the project uses a multi-stage engineering solution based on a natural refrigerant — carbon dioxide. The company notes that similar technologies are already deployed at industrial facilities both in Russia and internationally, with annual production of refrigeration equipment exceeding 300 units.

At the same time, the company continues to expand its production base. In the Novocherkassk Industrial Park, construction is underway on the “Gradient” plant, which will specialize in the production of industrial refrigeration equipment, including units, chillers, cooling systems and heat recovery solutions using CO2 and ammonia.

Deputy Governor of Rostov Region Igor Sorokin emphasized that such projects contribute to strengthening the region’s industrial capacity, expanding production capabilities, creating high-skilled jobs and attracting investment.

He added that the project aligns with modern requirements for energy efficiency and environmental sustainability, which are becoming key trends in industrial development.
