I often see the same entry strategy: A company wants to expand into a new country. Instead of structuring a market architecture, they look for: ✔️ A sales agent already selling similar products ✔️ An agent with an established portfolio ✔️ Someone who can…

But because of scale.
Supermarkets are distributed, always operating, and cannot tolerate disruption.
In the coming years, a large part of this installed base will require investment:
◾ to align with the F-Gas trajectory
◾ to anticipate refrigerant constraints
◾ to replace aging systems
This makes the transition more than a technology upgrade.
Because in practice, stores must keep running.
Which shifts the focus from what to install

The direction is clear:
✔️ high-GWP refrigerants are phasing down
✔️ alternatives are available
✔️ deployment is accelerating
But implementation remains uneven.

CO₂ is increasingly the standard.
But performance still depends on:
◾ climate
◾ design
◾ execution
Which creates variability.

This is not just a replacement.
It involves:
◾ new installation practices
◾ different commissioning
◾ higher maintenance sensitivity
Skills availability often becomes decisive.

Investments are driven by regulation and risk.

◾ performance varies
◾ costs are not fully stabilized
Which makes comparisons complex.

New builds are manageable.
Existing stores are not:
◾ space limits
◾ integration complexity
◾ need for continuity
This is where planning becomes critical.
