Full Plug-in Freezer Islands in Sweden
City Gross, one of Sweden’s well-known full-service hypermarket chains, is recognized for its wide assortment, strong focus on fresh products, and commitment to delivering an outstanding shopping experience. With more than 40 stores across the country, the retailer continues to invest in modern, energy-efficient technologies that support operational reliability and sustainability.
AHT Nordics has recently partnered with City Gross in Nyköping to deliver a major upgrade to their in-store refrigeration. The retailer selected AHT’s KIGALI XL – our powerful, future-proof full plug-in cabinet solution using natural refrigerant R290. The project includes equipping a total of five City Gross stores with KIGALI XL units.

In the first installation, AHT supplied 60 KIGALI XL cabinets, arranged into six high-capacity islands. This setup ensures optimal product visibility, excellent temperature stability, and strong energy performance – all while eliminating the need for a central refrigeration system thanks to KIGALI XL’s full plug-in technology.
With KIGALI XL, City Gross benefits from:
_Natural refrigerant technology (R290) for reduced environmental impact
_High system efficiency and lower energy consumption
_Flexible plug-in installation reducing downtime and eliminating complex piping
_Powerful cooling performance suited for the demanding food retail environment
_Scalable layout options, demonstrated by the multi-island configuration in Nyköping
This project highlights AHT Nordics’ ability to deliver large-scale, modern refrigeration solutions tailored to the needs of major Scandinavian retailers. As the remaining stores are completed, City Gross will operate one of the region’s most advanced plug-in refrigeration setups – combining sustainability, efficiency, and outstanding product presentation.
