SCHOTT celebrates 50 years of Termofrost® glass door systems for refrigeration and freezer cabinets. For five decades, Termofrost® has been continuously developing its solutions to improve energy efficiency, reliability, and design in food retail. With the Termofrost® Inmotion glass door system platform, SCHOTT now offers a technologically mature and versatile solution for refrigerated display cabinet types in the plus cooling range for different climate conditions and store concepts. The anniversary underscores SCHOTT's commitment to providing glass door systems that help reduce the energy consumption of refrigeration appliances and lower operating costs in retail.

For 50 years, Termofrost® glass door systems have stood for reliability, energy efficiency, and tailor-made solutions in refrigeration and freezer technology. For its anniversary, the technology group looks back on years of experience in the field of glass door systems for refrigerated display cases and demonstrates how consistent further development and a wide range of variants meet the requirements of modern food retailing.

From the introduction of its first glass door systems, Termofrost® has developed solutions that are adapted to customer needs, changing market conditions, legal requirements, and new store concepts. Today, SCHOTT Termofrost® systems are used worldwide in refrigeration and freezer cabinets and make an important contribution to reducing energy consumption in food retail.

A key milestone in this development is the Termofrost® Inmotion platform. It is based on a unique hinge concept developed by SCHOTT that enables particularly narrow gap dimensions, improved sealing solutions, and self-closing doors. This reduces cold loss, simplifies installation, and improves product presentation in refrigerated cabinets.

Based on this system, SCHOTT has specifically expanded the Inmotion platform for plus cooling. Today, the platform includes different variants for various types of refrigerated cabinets, climatic conditions, and design requirements. These include Inmotion Canopy for refrigerated cabinets with conventional head panels and Inmotion Sky for design-oriented store concepts. Printed and heated versions are also available for more demanding climate zones. A further expansion stage for cold room applications is already in planning.

The diversity of Termofrost® glass door systems enables refrigerated cabinet manufacturers and operators in the food retail sector to tailor their vertical refrigerated cabinets specifically to energy efficiency, ease of use, and design. At the same time, the technical basis remains consistent across all variants – an advantage for series production, service, and long-term operational reliability.

“This anniversary underscores our commitment to consistently driving innovation and quality. With Termofrost®, we are developing glass door systems that combine technical excellence, high energy efficiency, and long-term reliability – tailored to the requirements of modern retail,” says Frank Bellemans, Head of SCHOTT’s Flat Glass Business Unit.

At EuroShop 2026, SCHOTT will present the expanded Termofrost® Inmotion portfolio as well as other solutions for glass door systems and cold room applications from February 22th to 26th in Hall 14, Booth A30.
