Danfoss India launched its latest innovation in industrial refrigeration — the Made-in-India STL family of valves. These valves are designed to boost the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of the country’s cold chain sector. The STL valve family is expected to play a transformative role in strengthening India’s cold storage infrastructure. It is especially beneficial for perishables that require stable and efficient preservation.
Manufactured at Danfoss’ facility in Chennai, the valves bring multiple advantages — including localized production, faster service support, and long-term operational value — to a wide range of facilities, from large-scale warehouses to multi-commodity storage units across the country.
Designed for Modularity, Reliability, and Performance
Madhur Sehgal, Head, Danfoss Climate Solutions Sales, India Region, said, “The STL family launch marks a leap in refrigeration valve technology, designed and manufactured in India to meet the needs of the country’s growing cold-chain industry. With modularity, reliability, and ease of service, the new STL valves help operators cut downtime, save energy, and extend system life.”
Engineers designed the STL valves to tackle critical operational challenges. They enhance system reliability and improve energy efficiency. The valves also reduce maintenance downtime, ensuring optimal performance even under demanding conditions.
Supporting Food Security and Sustainability Goals
Ravichandran Purushothaman, President – Danfoss India Region, said, “Danfoss India is proud to introduce game-changing solutions such as the new STL valve family, designed and manufactured in India to global standards, to help strengthen the nation’s food security, reduce post-harvest losses, and support a more sustainable and resilient cold-chain ecosystem.” Danfoss integrates advanced refrigeration technology with local manufacturing capabilities. The company aims to support India’s broader goals of food security, reduce waste, and build a sustainable supply chain.
Driving the Future of India’s Cold Chain Ecosystem
As reported by thehindubusinessline.com, the launch of the STL valve family underscores Danfoss India’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge, locally manufactured solutions. These solutions align with the evolving needs of the cold chain sector. As demand for reliable cold storage infrastructure rises, innovations like STL valves will play a key role in modernizing the industry. They help reduce losses and ensure food reaches consumers in optimal condition.
