International. The Carel Heez, designed as a high-performance, energy-saving solution for the control and management of beverage coolers, has been recognized as the best environmental sustainability product in the World Beverage Innovation Award.
The 2017 World Beverage Innovation Awards celebrate excellence and innovation in all categories of the global beverage industry and recognize the most innovative products and technologies on the market.
"The fact that Heez earned this award emphasizes Carel's excellent reputation as a long-standing driver of innovation within the industry and validates our efforts and our focus towards a more responsible and sustainable industry," said Alessandro Greggio, Head of Refrigeration and Retail at Carel.
"The Heez solution responds to the regulations and challenges of beverage companies to reduce environmental impact. This is becoming imperative due to the large extent of these types of refrigeration units. The industry must respond to these challenges by taking direct action, such as adopting the use of natural gases (e.g. propane for Heez) and even with the aim of reducing energy consumption," the company's official statement reads.
