For the second consecutive year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) named Manitowoc Foodservice as an Energy Star Partner of the Year for its outstanding contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by manufacturing energy-efficient products and helping to educate consumers about those products.
Manitowoc Foodservice is a global manufacturer of commercial kitchen equipment. It participates in seven Energy Star categories, including dishwashers, fryers, ice machines, solid door refrigerators, steam cookers, griddles, hot-holding food cabinets, and ovens. As a result of the total number of products meeting Energy Star criteria, coupled with its dedication to the research and development of energy-efficient foodservice products, Manitowoc Foodservice will be presented with its second Energy Star Partner of the Year Award in a ceremony held April 12 in Washington, D.C. More than 200 Manitowoc Foodservice products have earned the Energy Star rating.
“Today, the EPA is recognizing Manitowoc Foodservice for their leadership in addressing climate change through energy efficiency,” says Elizabeth Craig, acting director of EPA’s office of atmospheric programs. “Manitowoc Foodservice is producing and promoting energy-efficient Energy Star products that help American consumers join in the effort to increase our nation’s energy efficiency and reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases. We look forward to continuing to partner with these winners as they create the next generation of energy-efficient products.”
