COVID-19 OPERATIONAL RESPONSE

Response to the COVID-19 pandemic is dynamic – what we know now may change tomorrow as the Government and industry respond to new information. Throughout this time the message has been consistent – essential services will continue to operate to provide critical support for the needs of the community.

EcoChill supports essential services in the forms of refrigeration and temperature control equipment. As we continue to operate, the health and safety of our people and our customers is, as always, our first priority.
