Hoshizaki UK has expanded its presence in Ireland with the opening of a new warehouse in Dublin, strengthening its distribution network and improving refrigeration and ice maker deliveries for customers across the country.

Reported by Food Service Equipment Journal, the facility can accommodate up to 150 refrigeration and ice maker units and will serve as a key distribution hub supplied from Hoshizaki's manufacturing facilities in Telford. The warehouse enables faster deliveries throughout Ireland, including next-day delivery to nearby locations and nationwide delivery within 48 hours, with same-day delivery available in selected areas.

The investment reflects Hoshizaki's continued commitment to supporting customers in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland while improving product availability across multiple sectors.

Alongside hospitality businesses, the Dublin warehouse will support healthcare, education, care facilities and food-to-go operators, helping organisations access refrigeration equipment more quickly while maintaining food hygiene and food safety standards.

Simon Frost, Director of Hoshizaki UK & Ireland, said refrigeration and ice makers are among the few pieces of commercial kitchen equipment that operate continuously, making reliable availability and rapid replacement particularly important for customers.

He said the investment demonstrates the company's commitment to exceeding customer expectations while supporting growth across every market it serves.

The new facility also strengthens Hoshizaki's technical support capabilities through continued engineer training led by Service Manager Andy Norton, helping deliver faster response times and enhanced technical expertise throughout Ireland.

The Dublin warehouse will become part of Hoshizaki's wider distribution network, with logistics support provided by JMC Haulage.

The investment highlights the growing importance of resilient distribution infrastructure in supporting food safety, equipment reliability and operational continuity across commercial kitchens, healthcare environments and other sectors that depend on temperature-controlled refrigeration systems.
