Daily Delivery, an Unbroken Cold Chain
The reason kitchens across the Boland trust Malan’s isn’t only the range, it’s that it arrives cold, on time, every day. Twenty-four refrigerated trucks, temperature logged the whole way, loaded from solar-backed cold storage in Paarl.

An Unbroken Cold Chain
Dairy is only as good as the coldest link in its journey. Ours starts in a large refrigeration unit and freezer at our Paarl facility, and every one of our 24 trucks is refrigerated, so stock never leaves the cold.
Temperature, logged all day
Data loggers track temperature in our trucks and cold rooms throughout the day, so the cold chain isn’t a promise, it’s a record.

Solar-Powered
Cold-Chain Efficient
Keeping thousands of products cold takes power. We’ve put the sun to work so the cold chain stays reliable and the running costs, and footprint, stay down.
Solar-powered refrigeration
A solar system helps run our large refrigeration units, so the cold chain holds even when the grid doesn't.
Efficient by design
Refrigerated trucks and data-logged temperature tracking keep the chain tight from our floor to your fridge.
A lighter footprint
Solar generation and cold-chain efficiency cut both our running costs and our environmental impact.
The People Who Keep It Cold
None of it runs itself. Our warehouse and cold-room teams, many of whom have been with us for more than ten years, pick, check and load every order in the cold, so what leaves Paarl is exactly what you ordered, at exactly the temperature it should be.
