About Us

ABOUT US

ENLAKE® is an independent Australian business specialising in medical, laboratory and specialist refrigeration.

Established in 2009, ENLAKE supplies medical and laboratory refrigeration equipment to customers across Australia. Our approach is straightforward: understand what the equipment actually has to do, explain the options honestly, and recommend what fits the job.

Independent advice. Broad product choice.

We start with the customer’s requirements, not a manufacturer’s catalogue. ENLAKE carries more than 600 fridge and freezer models, and works with over 20 specialist brands across refrigeration and accessories, so we can recommend on the merits and quote at different price points rather than defend one company’s range. Buy direct from a manufacturer or their distributor and the recommendation will always be their own product, whatever the job calls for.

Who We Supply

In the last decade we have supplied more than 4,300 individual fridges and freezers, to customers in every state and territory of Australia. The figures below count customer sites rather than units. Going further back our records are less complete, but we estimate the all-time total is closer to 5,700.

We supply equipment from multiple manufacturer brands that meet Quality Care Pharmacy Program (QCPP) requirements and Pharmacy Guild of Australia approval, giving pharmacy customers QCPP-compliant options to choose from.

What We Supply

Pharmacy and vaccine refrigerators, blood refrigerators, plasma freezers, laboratory refrigerators and freezers, ultra-low temperature freezers, mortuary cabinets, bone freezers, and other temperature-controlled equipment and accessories.

Most requirements are met by an off-the-shelf product from one of the brands we carry. Where a standard unit isn’t right for the job, we can work with manufacturers and specialist suppliers to have something custom manufactured or purpose-modified instead.

Depending on the project and what is technically feasible, that can mean changes to cabinet configuration, dimensions, temperature range, internal layout, access arrangements, controls, alarms or monitoring interfaces.

Projects, Installation and Support

ENLAKE supplies and fits out refrigeration for new and existing facilities, and stays involved past delivery. Depending on the equipment, site and project, we can provide or coordinate installation, commissioning, and the supporting systems that go with temperature-controlled storage: monitoring, alarms, calibration, temperature mapping and backup power.

Specification

What each area needs on capacity, temperature range and compliance, matched to equipment.

Facility & Site Planning

Space, power, layout and cabinet configuration handled as part of the wider fit-out.

Multi-Trade Coordination

Liaising with builders, facility managers, contractors and manufacturers so refrigeration fits the program.

Installation & Aftercare

Installation and commissioning arranged for the site, with ENLAKE as the contact afterwards.

Since 2009

ENLAKE has supplied medical and laboratory refrigeration for more than fifteen years, and the hands-on experience behind it — in refrigeration and in biomedical engineering — goes back further still.

That background, and the manufacturer and supplier relationships built since, is what the advice on this page rests on: knowing how this equipment behaves in service, what the differences between brands actually amount to, and when a simpler option will do the job.
