Introducing Jackstone Fourseas

The company describes the move as “another exciting chapter for us as we continue our efforts to revolutionise the plate freezer industry”. With this expansion the company says it fulfils its desire to deliver an excellent value for clients and, at the same time, ready Jackstone Fourseas to enter the next stage in its history of continually striving to provide innovative and enabling freezing technology solutions and services.

Ian Cole, Chairman of the Fourseas group, stated, “Jackstone had created a remarkable company with best-in-class technology and an impressive client list. Fourseas brings substantial financial resources to the new company of Jackstone Fourseas – we intend to support the continued growth and expansion programme with aggressive investment in internal R&D, customer service, and complementary acquisitions.”

Since its founding in 2000, Jackstone Froster had utilised its pioneering freezing technology to become a premier provider of plate freezers to the fishing and food processing community. The new Jackstone Fourseas operation will be run from the new head office in Grimsby, UK, with the majority of the manufacturing on the same site in a purpose built 20,000 sq ft complex. Changes have been made to the sales team and it will be strengthened in the coming weeks.

New premises have been acquired in London’s Greenbelt specifically to house the sales team and to establish the evolving R&D programme.
