The supervision service will be conducted with quality control, focused on performance and condensation prevention.

　　

　The facility introduced material handling made by Daifuku Co., Ltd. as a full-fledged refrigeration facility, and 1) a line for sorting refrigerated products 2) a line for sorting frozen and fruit and vegetables. In addition, F&P managed the temperature of ambient products by packing refrigerated materials and delivering fresh products to the customers on time.

　In addition, F&P use CFC R-410A, a refrigerant that does not deplete the ozone-layer and can be dropped-in if a refrigerant with a lower global warming potential is commercialized in the future. Due to heavy snow environment, the machinery was installed with raised height and wells are planned for the purpose of melting snow.

　The area have a close relationship with Malaysia, the facility has a “worship room” for Malaysian Muslims and a “warm-up room” for people who get chilled, creating a pleasant working environment for the employees.
