Smart Refrigeration for a New Era of Food Retail
At the heart of the store’s fresh zone are the vertical Rock Eco refrigerated display cases with swing doors, ideal for dairy, delicatessen, pre-packed meats and produce. These display cases deliver high energy efficiency and superior product visibility, allowing for optimal presentation of high-turnover products while preserving their freshness.
Complementing them are the semi-vertical Stone chillers, designed with a wide front opening, perfect for fruits, vegetables and dairy products. These chillers ensure stable temperatures even during peak hours, enhancing both convenience and appeal.
The Melo refrigerated service and self-service counters take center stage for premium selections such as sushi, bento boxes, and specialty cold cuts. Available in multiple lengths and types, they provide flexible presentation options while ensuring precise and consistent temperature control.
Frozen goods and ice cream are kept in pristine condition in the Crystal glass door freezers, equipped with electric defrost and ventilated cooling systems. These cabinets combine innovation and style, delivering reliability without compromising visual impact.
All refrigeration cabinets are equipped with energy-saving fans and eco-friendly LED lighting to enhance visibility and minimize environmental impact, perfectly aligning with Mena Gourmet Market’s sustainability values.

From concept to completion, the Epta APAC team worked side by side with Mena Gourmet Market, aligning refrigeration solutions with store layout, customer journey and brand strategy. We led technical planning, optimized placement for performance and visual impact and ensured every installation met the highest operational standards.
We are proud to be given the opportunity to be part of this journey and look forward to our continued partnership with Mena Gourmet Market!
