1968

Refrigeración Ojeda was founded years after operating as a service company. Drawing on decades of hands-on experience in repairing and maintaining refrigeration systems, the business evolved into a full-fledged manufacturing company. This transformation marked a new chapter, empowering Refrigeración Ojeda to design and mass-produce high-quality freezers and refrigerators tailored to diverse sizes and industries, paving the way for its rise as a leader in the industry.

2005

After years of successfully exporting to the United States, Refrigeración Ojeda made a pivotal decision to establish a wholly owned subsidiary, Ojeda USA, to serve both the U.S. and Canadian markets. With a skilled team of experts and a cross-functional workforce, Ojeda USA began operations in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Focusing on delivering products tailored to U.S. market requirements, the company laid a solid foundation for exceptional service while meeting evolving customer needs and positioning itself for sustained growth and success in the region.

Leading the Way in Energy Efficiency

We’ve built a legacy of innovation and responsibility driven by our commitment to energy efficiency and sustainable solutions. Since our company’s creation, energy savings have always been a core priority in our product designs. As the market evolves, so do we—by continuously integrating the latest cutting-edge components that minimize energy consumption without compromising performance.

In 2008, we became the first company in the Americas—and one of the first globally— to manufacture self-contained refrigeration units using R290 refrigerant, a natural refrigerant with minimal environmental impact and a Global Warming Potential close to zero. This was not just a technological milestone but a significant step forward in environmental responsibility. 

As global energy demands rise and environmental regulations become stricter, the need for sustainable refrigeration systems has never been more critical. By choosing Ojeda USA, businesses can feel confident investing in systems designed with the future in mind—products that use less energy, lower operational costs, and reduce environmental impact.
