SCM REF Australia, Beijer Ref Australia‘s manufacturing operation, announced the completion of its relocation to a new manufacturing facility in Bankstown, Sydney, according to a news release.

The company announced the commitment to a 10-year lease on this new AU$48 million (US$33 million) facility at Bankstown Airport in December 2019.

In 2020, Beijer Ref Australia and Kirby (previously Heatcraft Australia, which was acquired by Beijer Ref in May 2018) delivered over 20 transcritical CO₂ systems and is “now well underway completing the first transcritical CO₂ system at the new plant,” the release stated.

“Market acceptance for natural refrigerants in Australia continues to grow year on year”, said Inderpal Saund, Beijer Ref Sales Manager. “There is increased confidence from clients in what they will receive and increased confidence in the technician’s skill during commissioning.”
