History

RSL Group's journey began in 1946 with the establishment of Refrigeration Spares by the Cherrill family. From its origins as a local supplier, the company rapidly evolved, becoming a key provider of comprehensive refrigeration and cooling solutions, backed by essential technical support.

This growth was strategically fuelled by key expansions, including the opening of a vital branch in London. Further expansion was driven by Gerry McDonagh, a respected figure within the refrigeration industry, who spearheaded the creation of RSL Ireland and RPL Belfast, extending the company's footprint. These strategic moves solidified RSL's position as a prominent player in the refrigeration sector.

In a pivotal development in 2024, IPCOM acquired RSL Group. This acquisition was driven by IPCOM's recognition of RSL's profound technical expertise, its established engineering capabilities, and its dedication to delivering top-tier customer service. This alignment perfectly complements IPCOM's own strategic focus on the distribution and fabrication of tailored, energy-efficient solutions.

The combined strengths of RSL Group and IPCOM are poised to create a significantly stronger entity, one that will unlock enhanced opportunities for both its valued customers and its dedicated employees. The goal is to build upon the already strong foundation of RSL, and to accelerate growth within the energy efficient solutions market.
