HE WORLD IS EVOLVING and the reality of climate change, coupled with increased energy consumption, is now apparent. Patton recognises that the Australian environment requires products that provide greater energy efficiency and utilise clean technology. We have 35 years experience in the design, build and distribution of refrigeration systems throughout Australasia. Patton has a long history which began in New Zealand 88 years ago with the growth of agricultural exports. This was an industry that encouraged innovative thinkers like George E Patton. Today, with a strong design and engineering team, Patton continues to deliver advanced refrigeration solutions, with solid service and technical support throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

THIS IS OUR STORY
George E Patton Founder, 1923
In 1923, in the South Island of New Zealand, George E Patton set up a refrigeration engineering shop in Christchurch. It was a location surrounded by inspiration, export quality Canterbury lamb, snow capped mountains and huge potential for a refrigeration man with vision. Business thrived and by 1930 G E Patton Ltd was producing a range of domestic refrigerators and flip top ice cream cabinets for the rapidly expanding local market.
As business grew Patton’s innovative product development grew with it. Chest freezers, absorption refrigerators and New Zealand’s first curved glass fronted delicatessen and frozen food cabinets were all the work of G E Patton. In the 1970’s G E Patton Ltd changed its name to Patton Refrigeration, moved head office north to Auckland and focused on developing the increasingly successful commercial refrigeration component of their business. New ranges from Patton included condensing units, air-cooled condensers and unit coolers.
