Vasse Village (WA)

Located in Western Australia’s South West, Vasse Village by Bunbury Farmers Market is a state-of-the-art fresh food destination that showcases an extensive range of refrigeration solutions.

Our Perth-based projects and installation teams worked tirelessly for over a year to bring this ambitious project to life. The result is a store packed with cutting-edge refrigeration, ensuring optimal temperature control, product freshness, and energy efficiency.
