Enodis Launches Programs, Financing For Major Energy Push
Want help on the energy front? At the National Restaurant Association Show last month in Chicago, Enodis PLC unveiled multiple programs, including special financing, for operators looking to cut energy usage.
The New Port Richey, Fla., company has introduced a special Enodis EnerLogic seal, an easy-to-identify visual tag depicting three separate flame-shaped petals that come together to form a flower. The seal marks Enodis models that meet specific energy- and resource-efficiency standards. Different categories of equipment face different kinds of industry standards, so pieces of equipment qualifying for the company's EnerLogic seal will meet or exceed California Energy Commission rebate standards, or meet the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star standards, or else meet Federal Energy Management Program criteria for employing energy-saving technology, renewable energy, water efficiency or sustainable design and operations. In all, among its many brands, Enodis produces more than 100 products earning the EnerLogic seal.
To encourage operators to make the move to more efficient equipment, Enodis has announced a special 90-day deferred-payment financing plan for any Enerlogic-qualified equipment purchased. The special financing deal will be available to qualified operators through Sept. 30, 2006, exclusively through Enodis Financing on energy-saving products from Cleveland, Convotherm, Dean, Delfield, Frymaster, Garland, Ice-O-Matic, Jackson, Lincoln and Scotsman.
The company, riding the crest of a massive R&D effort in recent years, introduced 14 new products at the National Restaurant Association Show, and its Lincoln IR Conveyor Toaster and Convotherm by Cleveland combi oven-steamer were among the NRA's Kitchen Innovation Award recipients.

In March, Best joined with John K. Dunne and Rich O'Brien, partners in the Dallas-based rep group known as Dunne Group, to form Dunne, O'Brien, Best. Along with core team members Doris Baker, Jane Dunne and Greg Morris, the entire group provides a wide range of services including independent manufacturer' rep services, market consulting, public relations and marketing services.

EPA Names Victory A Manufacturing Partner
A moment of respect for a driver of energy efficiency: Victory Refrigeration has been declared a 2006 Energy Star Manufacturing partner by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. The achievement marks the first time in Energy Star's 14-year history that a foodservice equipment maker has been so honored.
The Cherry Hill, N.J., division of AGA Foodservice Equipment was recognized this spring by the government agencies for producing the most energy-efficient models equipment in the refrigeration category—more than 480 refrigerator and freezer models have earned Energy Star ratings—as well as its promotion of energy efficient foodservice operations and energy-education efforts on behalf of consultants, operators and manufacturers' reps.
