The Story

Born in 1986 as Wellington Drive Technologies, AoFrio started with pure Kiwi engineering DNA and a mission to make fridges smarter and more efficient. What began in Auckland has evolved into the cooling empire behind your favourite drinks – with an IoT solution giving commercial fridges a brain, a voice, and apparently some serious attitude.

The Numbers

• Managing 3.2+ million coolers worldwide (75% of global connected cooler installed base!) 

• 15+ million high-efficiency motors sold, preventing 8 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions to date

• 150+ team members across 12 countries from Turkey to Brazil 

• NZ$43 million revenue in first half of 2025

Plot Twist

With a background in high efficiency hardware, AoFrio has just launched a market leading SaaS offering and is now the puppet master behind millions of smart fridges for Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Heineken. Next time your corner store's cooler is perfectly chilled, thank these legends.

The Good Stuff

Work from anywhere for up to four weeks a year because when your team spans 12 countries and different time zones, you might as well embrace the global nomad life properly. ✈️ Plus, you get to help keep drinks cold and the planet happy – not a bad day at the office.

Curious and creative? AoFrio wants you to help build the future of smart sustainability.
