How We Did at NAFEM 2009

Posted in Green Posted in Imperial Ideas by Rick on 02/13 at 07:54 PM

Here is a photo of our display at the NAFEM tradeshow in Orlando, Florida last week.

NAFEM stands for North American Association of Food Equipment Manufacturers. We are a member of this trade association. NAFEM members consist of companies that manufacture equipment for the Foodservice industry. When we speak of Foodservice, we’re talking about any operation that has a kitchen. The kitchens could be in a small restaurant or huge college central kitchens preparing thousands of meals per day. Foodservice is a vital business segment for us.
Imperial's NAFEM Booth The NAFEM trade show features all the latest and greatest equipment that is used in Foodservice. All of our major walk-in cooler and freezer competitors display in this important industry event. The tradeshow is held every other year in Orlando. It was and will continue to be very important for Imperial to display in this show.
This year we featured energy savings and a couple of key Imperial innovations including ThermoSteel backing for our door hinges, and our new Adjustable Hinge. Paul Nastari headed up our sales team accompanied by Kristy Heatley and Rita Foster. Paul reports that most of our Sales Rep agencies brought their key accounts by. We also had good participation from our Foodservice Consultant companies. Paul tells us the major impact we had at the show was our Energy Savings initiatives. The electric utilities were very impressed with the work we’ve done on the Energy Savings front. We remain the only walk-in cooler and freezer manufacturer that has been tested and validated by an independent Energy Star test agency.
In all, Imperial employees can be proud of the showing Imperial made at this year’s industry wide equipment trade show. Our presence and success at the NAFEM show this year is a direct reflection of their hard work and dedication to Imperial.
Be sure to ask Paul, Rita or Kristy about the show if you’d like more information.
