Trufrost & Butler inaugurated its state-of-the-art integrated manufacturing facility in Bhiwandi, Maharashtra. The new plant positions the company as India’s first integrated, BIS-certified manufacturing hub for premium commercial refrigeration and foodservice equipment - a milestone that strengthens domestic manufacturing and elevates India’s role in the global foodservice equipment landscape.
Spread across 1.06 lakh sq. ft., the facility brings manufacturing, assembly, quality assurance, testing, and warehousing under one roof. Designed as a multi-product, multi-line operation, it currently houses eight production lines with an installed capacity of 400 machines per shift, enabling the scale required to serve India’s rapidly expanding hospitality and foodservice sectors.
The plant integrates global technology transfers, internationally benchmarked manufacturing processes, and stringent quality systems, supported by a structured roadmap to increase localisation over time. Manufacturing teams have undergone specialised overseas training with its global partners, ensuring that every product meets international performance and reliability standards. Several categories also feature advanced capabilities such as IoT connectivity, recipe-setting functions, and preventive maintenance alerts.
The Bhiwandi facility has already secured BIS certification for over 30 product categories, including soft-serve freezers, coffee machines, coffee bean grinders, pizza ovens, bakery ovens, dough sheeters, bakery mixers, steamers, speed ovens, and fryers. An additional 25 products are expected to receive certification by July 2026. Select categories will also receive BEE star ratings, reinforcing the company’s commitment to quality, compliance, and energy efficiency.
Neeraj Seth, co-founder, Trufrost & Butler, said, “India’s hospitality industry is creating some of the most exciting foodservice brands in the world. As these businesses scale, they need equipment that meets global quality standards and delivers reliability, compliance, and strong after-sales support. The Bhiwandi facility is a strategic investment to build those capabilities in India. It gives us the foundation to expand manufacturing capacity, deepen localisation, strengthen product development, and serve customers more effectively across the region. Our ambition is to create a manufacturing platform that supports not only our growth but also the long-term evolution of India’s foodservice equipment ecosystem.”
