Short History
The company was established in 1999 in Malmö, Sweden, where the headquarters remain. In 2015, the company name changed from IQF Frost AB to OctoFrost AB, IQF Frost Inc. to OctoFrost Inc., and ProFrost AB to OctoFrost Technology AB. All companies are part of the umbrella company—OctoFrost Group with the existing owner structure.
In 2017, OctoFrost Group took over 100% of the shares of the Dutch Innotec Systems BV, a well-known manufacturer of customized industrial food processing machinery and industrial food processing lines. Innotec had strong expertise in thermal processes like blanching, cooking, and chilling. This acquisition made OctoFrost Group a key player in the industry.
In August 2024, Viltor, a member of the JCE Investment Group, acquired a majority stake in OctoFrost. Both companies share a commitment to advancing innovative and sustainable food processing technologies.
The Road to success
Now that OctoFrost Group is a supplier for full IQF processing lines, it can provide an optimized, complete IQF processing line for the best freezing results, highest yield and lowest energy consumption.
This brings high value to our customers worldwide. Our after-sales activities have also benefitted from the scale up in the organization and we are closer than ever before to our customers.
I know we are in the right place, the right time. This industry has enormous growth potential. We are proud to be where we are today and we will be here for a long time.
