ITW FEG has long responded to and supported the energy-saving and sustainable design efforts of our customers with industry-leading research and development. Today ITW FEG manufacturers collectively have 244 ENERGY STAR qualified units supporting your system with 10% to 45% energy savings a year.
It takes more than 244 ENERGY STAR qualified units to be Partner of the Year.
Let the word go out. We believe in ENERGY STAR and the energy and water savings their symbol promises our customers. That’s why you’ll see the ENERGY STAR label on all 214 ENERGY STAR qualified units of Hobart and Traulsen equipment. It's on Hobart warewashers, steamers and fryers, Traulsen refrigerators, freezers and hot-food holding cabinets.
The ENERGY STAR symbol is not just on our qualified equipment. It’s on our Web sites, educational e-mails, product brochures, training materials, ads, point-of-sale material and virtually all the other communications we create. If you visit us at trade shows, you’ll see that our support for ENERGY STAR and sustainable design is an integral part of our exhibits and kiosks, too.
We are committed to informing our customers and the industry about the many benefits of ENERGY STAR and sustainable design. We believe the core message—lowering costs, conserving energy and minimizing the environmental impact of equipment and buildings—is essential to the long-term growth and success of the foodservice and food retail industry. That’s why Hobart was the first commercial food equipment company to join the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), a nonprofit organization supporting the design, construction and manufacturing of buildings and equipment that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and work.
We practice what we preach not only in the equipment we make but also in the plants in which we make them. Hobart’s Hillsboro, Ohio, plant—where we manufacture retail scales and wrappers—is implementing a comprehensive waste-reduction program. Traulsen is reducing energy, paper consumption and waste in its Fort Worth, Texas, plant.
We are naturally proud of ITW FEG’s selection as ENERGY STAR award by being named 2008 Partner of the Year. To us, it is a demonstration that, above all else, we are a proud supporter of you.
