About Us

Since these early beginnings in 1976 Anglo Irish Refrigeration, AIR Group has become somewhat of an ‘institute’ in relation to the business of retailing, wholesaling and servicing all types of refrigeration equipment in the 32 counties of Ireland. The company relocated to it's present location in Ashbourne, Co. Meath in 1980. Over the years AIR has developed many long-standing customers and a presence throughout the country. Portglenone Refrigeration was formed in 1988 and has since become one of the leading refrigeration and air conditioning companies in Northern Ireland. Acquired by Anglo Refrigeration in 2006, it strengthened the company’s all-Ireland coverage and the growing Portglenone team of service, maintenance and installation engineers now provide top-quality work to leading group retail companies as well as numerous independent stores. Food Equipment Solutions (FES) was established to provide a dedicated service for all market segments of the retail food sector. FES consults with clients as to their specific needs and then devises a customised solution that also acts as a profit centre for their business. Areas covered include ventless cooking equipment; food prep; cooking; hot and cold hot and cold displays; refrigeration; storage; cleaning; innovation; and preventative maintenance

We have recently added a new company to the Group, Hoctor Refrigeration. The Hoctor Refrigeration acquisition into the AIR Group was a straight forward one as the ethos of the Hoctor and AIR are very similar. We both have engineering teams operate 365 days a year and provide excellent back-up service to all customers. Clients can also avail of planned maintenance programmes which are designed for their specific needs. Hoctor Refrigeration’s success over the past 40 years has been backboned by their top-quality engineers and a company-wide focus on customer service. Hoctor Refrigeration is a Mitsubishi BSB partner and has long-standing relationships with customers and suppliers across Ireland. The Hoctor Refrigeration focus on Air Conditioning and Ventilation gives the AIR Group existing clients additional expertise to coincide with the Refrigeration and Food Solutions businesses.
