Being cool isn't just a temperature; it's a status, a recognition. And guess who's stealing the spotlight, chilling and winning awards like solar-powered superheroes? Yep, you guessed it – Koolboks!
In a future where freezers dreamed of being more than just ice chambers, Koolboks emerged as the reigning cool kids. A solar-powered freezer strutting into the appliance awards like it owns the place. Spoiler alert: it kinda does.
The Cool Collaborations
Koolboks, the maverick of the cooling world, has been making waves with groundbreaking collaborations and developments. The coolest news? They've partnered with Orange Energies, extending their reach to 12 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. This strategic move not only amplifies Koolboks' influence but also sets the stage for a cooler, more sustainable future across the continent.
But that's not all – the CEO of Danone extended a golden ticket to Koolboks for a discussion on potential partnerships with West African operations under the FanMilk brand. Imagine a world where your favorite ice cream is not only delicious but also guilt-free in terms of its environmental impact.
Koolboks is not just stopping at conversations; they're putting the freeze into action. Teaming up with FanMilk, they're piloting 300 freezers in Nigeria under a revolutionary Cooling-as-a-Service business model. This partnership is more than just a freeze; it's a chill revolution aimed at transforming the way we keep things cool.
Expanding beyond frozen delights, Koolboks is testing the waters with Coca-Cola. They're launching a pilot to test 10 units of the solar-powered Koolboks Beverage Chiller in retail outlets across Nigeria. This move is not just about keeping drinks cold; it's a bold step toward redefining the cooling game across various industries.
Koolboks isn't just about satisfying your sweet tooth; they're also diving into health with a partnership with the Association of Community Pharmacists of Nigeria (ACPN). Supplying 8,000 solar-powered refrigerators for vaccine storage, they're contributing to the cold chain revolution in healthcare. This collaboration is not just about chilling vaccines; it's about saving lives through innovation.
Building the Future: Grants, Awards, and Assembling Success
Koolboks is not just a cool concept; it's a business on the rise. Awarded a 1.4 million euro grant by the French donor organization FFEM, they're constructing an assembly facility in Nigeria with an annual capacity of 72,000 units. This move not only scales up operations but also creates jobs and reduces product costs.
But wait, there's more! Koolboks secured a 1.5 million euro grant from Beyond the Grid Fund for Africa (BGFA), supporting their market entry into Uganda. Their commitment to accessibility is further emphasized by a partnership with FCMB for off-balance sheet financing, making solar refrigeration equipment more accessible to small business owners through the Green4Access (G4A) platform.
