Our Story

Labcold began in 1932 as the Boro Dairy Laboratories & Appliance Company Limited, supporting small dairies in London with milk testing. Post-WWII, we expanded into laboratory equipment and created our cooling division: Labcold.

As demand for specialised medical refrigeration grew, we led the way, becoming the first UK company to gain medical device certification for blood storage, setting a national benchmark.

Looking Ahead

Today, we continue to innovate responsibly. From IntelliCold® integrated Bluetooth data logging to Intelligent Blood Bank refrigerators, we adapt to meet the evolving needs of modern healthcare and research.

As we look to the future, our dedication remains rooted in the same principles that shaped our past: people first, excellence always and collaboration at every step.
