Accesorios Frigoríficos, S.A. (Afrisa) was founded in 1962 as a trading company for refrigeration products and components. In 1974 it signed several agreements for the exclusive distribution of Copeland´s products in Spain, the world leader in manufacturing compressors for refrigeration and air conditioning. These agreements were later on extended to Portugal.

In 1988, due to the renegotiation of the distribution agreements with Copeland, Afrisa became the distributor of the most prestigious products in those markets.

In 2003, in order to improve the logistics management and optimize the quality of service to its delegations and its clients, Afrisa moved to new and modern facilities in Torrejón de Ardoz (Headquarters), with a total surface of 8.600 m2, of which 6.000 m2 are warehouses and 2.600 m2 are offices, including a DISCO store, showrooms and conference rooms for staff training and product promotions for clients.

Latorre S.L., was set up in Valencia in 1963 feeling the need to cover the industrial refrigeration emerging market. It began to expand the family business, opening branches in Murcia, Gijón, Zaragoza and San Sebastián. After several decades being a family business company, and as a result of an important commercial strategy, in 1989, it became part of Grupo DISCO.
