The manufacturer of the industry’s first glass door refrigerator, the Gram ECO Plus, is celebrating a proud 70-year history of innovation
ince striding into its seventh decade, global cold-solutions supplier Hoshizaki has continued to expand its innovative
product portfolio. Its commitment to the development of pioneering technologies, cutting-edge research and, ultimately, a fully sustainable industry, has led to the launch of some truly remarkable products, such as the market’s first glass-door storage refrigerator: the Gram ECO Plus KG 140. Boasting the same award-winning creden-
tials as the fifth-generation ECO Plus models, yet with a transparent new twist, the innova- tive Hoshizaki-Gram ECO Plus KG 140 accom- plishes what the market once deemed to be an impossible task: a glass-door storage refriger- ator that boasts excellent energy efficiencies. In fact, so efficient is the ECO Plus KG 140 that it has even been listed in the
www.topten.eu’s famous energy-efficiency ranking, thanks to a Climate Class 5 classification and a remarkably low energy consumption of just 965 kWh/year. Speaking of this groundbreaking achieve-
ment, Simon Frost, director of Hoshizaki UK & Ireland, enthuses: “Hoshizaki is thrilled to once again be leading the way with market- leading product launches, such as our latest edition, the ECO Plus KG 140. “Having spent significant time developing
and testing the ECO Plus KG 140, Hoshizaki is delighted to be launching this revolutionary product to the UK market and to be providing operators with a unit that brings together everything that is required from a durable, aesthetic and sustainable storage refrigerator.” As with each of Hoshizaki’s units that have
been launched over the company’s impressive 70-year history, sustainability has been the core driving force behind the development of this market-first product. In fact, Hoshizaki’s entire product portfolio offers some of the most up-to-date, sustainable choices for caterers, which exceed legislative expectations while still factoring in the highest quality and reliability. Simon goes on to detail some of the changes
that Hoshizaki has made in 2019 in order to encourage operators to purchase a sustainable solution: “This year, we have successfully phased out our less-efficient HFC models, replacing them with units that use the natu- rally occurring HC refrigerant gas. “As well as this, in the UK, we’ve made a pledge not to stock any HFC appliances,

where an equivalent HC model is available, and have made the more efficient models more competitively priced to encourage oper- ators to make the switch.”
