Industrial Refrigeration (IR) was originally conceived in 1958 when Mr. Ramprasad Ruia pioneered Car Air Conditioning in India. Mr. Ruia decided to name his company Gorakhram Haribux (GH), after his ancestors, Gorakhram & Haribux.
Over the years, GH’s portfolio grew from Car and Room Air Conditioning to include Refrigerant gases, Solenoid Valves, Expansion Valves, Thermostats, Controls, and Refrigeration Quality Copper Tubes. IR was eventually spun off as a separate private limited company – Industrial Refrigeration Private Limited (IRL).
In 1974, IR established a factory at Andheri, Mumbai for assembling Car Air conditioners, Room Air Conditioners, Cooling Coils, Ice Plants and Tube Kits for the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration industry.
Today, IRL offers complete food processing plants & ultra modern cold storages on a near-turnkey basis. IRL is a part of the 52-year-old Allstate Group involved in Refrigeration, Transformers, Photography, Leisure equipment, Real estate consultancy, Web development solutions & Media.

Overcoming Challenges, Building Excellence
The period up until the late 1990s was challenging, as the government considered Refrigeration and Air Conditioning a Luxury Industry. This attracted heavy taxation with import duties and Excise Duty totaling up to 200% for some products. IR never believed in short-term gains from evasion of taxes, and it was an uphill task to survive against the competition.
However, IR maintained great market standing by leveraging sourcing, cost control and a deliberate product mix. In the early 1990s, IR started progressing in Food Refrigeration and gained experience in Ice Making Machines, Freezing Plants, and Cold Storages for temperatures ranging from +5°C to -40°C.
Notable Achievement:
IR takes pride in having executed challenging assignments like setting up a Freezing System onboard a 55 Ft. Fishing Wooden Trawler and a $1 million ice plant in desert conditions in Oman.
Over the years, IR entered into several tie-ups with Global Companies like GEA group to introduce the latest refrigeration technologies and practices in India such as Paraffin Wax Freezers for Refineries, Snow Rooms, Ice Skating Rinks, Dairy Refrigeration, Abattoir Refrigeration and Modified & Controlled Atmosphere Cold Stores.
