For more than 50 years, the Tippmann Group name has been synonymous with cold storage excellence. In that time, we have dedicated ourselves to putting our customers first, providing a safe work environment, and treating our employees like family. As a family-owned and operated business, the Tippmann Group companies have always placed a high value on the relationships we have with our customers and fellow team members. These relationships, combined with our commitment to tradition, flexibility, quality, performance, and customer service have helped our companies grow into what they are today.
Tippmann Group is a unique combination of two companies, Tippmann Construction and Interstate Warehousing, which are dedicated to safe and efficient design, construction and operation of multi-temperature facilities for the food industry.
In business since 1968, our refrigeration expertise and owner/operator experience make Tippmann Group your single-source provider for all of your temperature-controlled facility needs.
Tippmann Group’s QFR Zone® utilizes improved airflow to provide an energy and labor efficient blast freezing solution, freezing products faster and more cost-efficiently than traditional blast systems. The QTR Zone® utilizes the same technology for thawing frozen product quickly.
