“My experience with CIMCO started when I worked

at the Rexall Place in Edmonton. I have been in the

business for a number of years and have not seen

another company as experienced and professional

as CIMCO. They provide the best refrigeration

mechanics in the world. Being in the NHL spotlight I

cannot afford to cut any corners when it comes to

maintaining our plants.”
