SYSCO Newport Meat Company, originally founded in 1975, focuses on supplying the highest quality meat to its customers and as a result chose C&L Refrigeration to upgrade their existing packaged refrigeration systems to a new central refrigeration system.

Newport Meat Company was looking for an alternative solution to conserve energy and upgrade the existing refrigeration system. The existing refrigeration system consisting of 13 separate package units was getting older and the cost to maintain the equipment was increasing. Monitoring and controlling the refrigeration from a central computer was very important to the Newport Meat Company management. Especially critical was the temperature and humidity in the Dry Age room. They needed a system with the capability to monitor, trend and control the humidity and room temperatures through the refrigeration monitoring system.

In order for Newport Meat Company to maintain their superior level of product preservation and product distribution, C&L designed and built a new R-507 refrigerant central refrigeration system to meet their needs. The old existing refrigeration equipment was removed and demolished with the existing condensing units and evaporator coils.

The construction was completed without interrupting Newport Meat Company's regular business due to C&L's professional and detailed project management. When the project was completed, the new modern refrigeration system provided the cooling for the approximately 27,000 sq ft processing facility with room for expansion in mind.
