Arby’s Supplier Honors Cite Three Manufacturers

Three foodservice equipment manufacturers were among 12 suppliers honored by Arby’s Restaurant Group and ARCOP, its national supply chain cooperative, during the 3,300-unit chain’s Worldwide Franchise Convention in Orlando, Fla., earlier this month.

Alto-Shaam and Powerhouse Dynamics received a joint Red Hat Supplier Achievement Award for their partnership in the redesign of Arby’s cooking platform. “Their innovative spirit has generated new efficiencies and achieved over 67% energy savings for ARG vs. the former platform,” according to Arby’s.

Henny Penny was honored for its responsiveness and exceptional service, and for its fryer, which has helped reduce oil usage by 35%, and driven up to $2,900 per restaurant in total savings.

Other winners included uniform supplier CSE Inc. and signage maker Design Team Sign Co.
