How Koolboks is Expanding Access to Reliable Refrigeration Across Africa
In many parts of Africa, unreliable access to electricity makes cold storage difficult, expensive, or completely inaccessible. For businesses operating across food, healthcare, and retail, that challenge directly impacts growth, efficiency, and long-term sustainability.
Koolboks is helping address that challenge through solar-powered refrigeration and cold-chain solutions designed for markets where dependable power infrastructure cannot be assumed.
In 2025, Koolboks achieved its highest sales to date while continuing its international expansion across Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, France, and more than 20 additional countries. The company has raised more than $18 million in total capital to support its continued growth and expansion.
Beyond business growth, Koolboks continues to generate meaningful social and environmental impact across the communities it serves. The company’s expansion has supported women-led enterprises, created income and skills opportunities for young people, improved access to reliable cold storage for food and healthcare applications, reduced spoilage and operating costs, and helped strengthen more climate-resilient local economies.
As demand for sustainable refrigeration infrastructure continues to grow globally, Koolboks is demonstrating how climate-focused innovation and scalable business models can work hand in hand.
