T HE WORLD IS EVOLVING
and the reality of climate change,
coupled with increased energy
consumption, is now apparent.
Patton recognises that the Australian
environment requires products that
provide greater energy efficiency
and utilise clean technology.
We have 35 years experience in
the design, build and distribution
of refrigeration systems throughout
Australasia. Patton has a long
history which began in New Zealand
88 years ago with the growth of
agricultural exports. This was an
industry that encouraged innovative
thinkers like George E Patton.
Today, with a strong design and
engineering team, Patton continues
to deliver advanced refrigeration
solutions, with solid service and
technical support throughout the
Asia-Pacific region.
Is OuR WORld
THIs Is OuR sTORY
In 1923, in the South Island of New Zealand, George E Patton set
up a refrigeration engineering shop in Christchurch. It was a location
surrounded by inspiration, export quality Canterbury lamb, snow
capped mountains and huge potential for a refrigeration man with
vision. Business thrived and by 1930 G E Patton Ltd was producing a
range of domestic refrigerators and flip top ice cream cabinets for the
rapidly expanding local market.
As business grew Patton’s innovative product development grew with it. Chest freezers,
absorption refrigerators and New Zealand’s first curved glass fronted delicatessen and
frozen food cabinets were all the work of G E Patton.
In the 1970’s G E Patton Ltd changed its name to Patton Refrigeration, moved head
office north to Auckland and focused on developing the increasingly successful
commercial refrigeration component of their business. New ranges from Patton included
condensing units, air-cooled condensers and unit coolers.
In 2008 Patton Refrigeration became simply Patton Ltd, a truly international company
with a diverse product range, an 85 year history and an enviable reputation. With nine
New Zealand branches, eleven Australian branches and sales offices in Thailand and
India. Patton manufacturing facilities are based in New Zealand, Australia and Thailand.
Every day, every month, every year, Patton continues to expand and enhance their global
presence, consistently providing top quality equipment and service to the refrigeration
industry worldwide.

MAdE TO ORdER
Sometimes standard doesn’t fit all applications.
When that is the case, Patton design and manufacture
refrigeration equipment to suit individual requirements
and situations. This includes water chillers, racks,
compressor/receiver sets and milk vat units.
AT WORK
At Patton, providing the ultimate refrigeration solution
does not mean simply supplying refrigeration equipment.
It means working closely with clients to understand
exactly what is required, what are the ultimate goals
and which elements of a situation need to be
considered before work commences on design,
manufacture or supply.
This approach sets Patton apart and has achieved
outstanding results in major industries.
