Prodis

Prodis is a long-established UK manufacturer specialising in commercial refrigeration and warewashing. Founded in 1995 in Stoke-on-Trent as Project Distribution Ltd, the business initially focused on sourcing dependable commercial equipment for the UK hospitality market before developing its own Prodis-branded ranges to better serve local requirements.

Over the last three decades, Prodis has grown steadily from distributor to recognised manufacturer, particularly within pubs, bars and independent hospitality sites. A defining part of this journey has been the company’s emphasis on equipment that is straightforward to install, operate and repair. Today, Prodis supports this approach with large UK-based warehousing and spare parts facilities, ensuring products and components remain readily available throughout their working life.

Designed Around Real-World Operation

Prodis stands apart by focusing on how equipment is actually used in British venues, rather than designing to generic international specifications. The brand’s philosophy is simple: avoid unnecessary complexity and invest instead in dependable engineering that operators and service engineers can trust.

This mindset has shaped some of Prodis’ most recognisable products. The company was an early adopter of electro-mechanical warewashing, favouring strong switches and timers over fragile electronics, and one of the first to develop low-profile bottle coolers sized specifically for traditional UK bar counters. By listening closely to feedback from installers and operators, Prodis has built a range that solves practical problems rather than creating new ones.

Key Product Ranges

Prodis offers a broad portfolio across refrigeration, warewashing and ice production, with several ranges widely regarded as industry staples.
