In October 2024, Cooling expanded its capabilities through the merger of Kæling ehf. and Víkurafl ehf., bringing together expertise in refrigeration, electrical systems and industrial automation.
Kæling ehf. was founded on 1 September 2005 by Atli Steinn Jónsson and Erlendur Stefán Kristjánsson. The company initially operated from Atli's home garage, but within six months it had outgrown the space and moved to its current premises at Stapahraun 6 in Hafnarfjörður. In its early years, the company's activities focused on the design, manufacture, installation and servicing of flake ice machines.
Víkurafl ehf. was founded in January 2017 by Arnþór Sigurðsson and Þorleifur Hjalti Alfreðsson in Grindavík. The company established a strong reputation as an electrical contractor, serving businesses in the fishing industry as well as a wide range of other sectors. Víkurafl provided comprehensive electrical services and specialised in industrial control systems, automation, equipment integration, monitoring and electrical maintenance.
