Victory Refrigeration, the Group’s US based commercial refrigeration manufacturer, was the first foodservice equipment manufacturer to be named a Partner of the Year in 2006.  Aga Foodservice Equipment, a first time ENERGY STAR partner, earned its ENERGY STAR award for the energy and water savings for its Victory, Eloma Combi ovens, Stellar Steamers and Infinity Fryers.

Kathleen Hogan, Director of EPA’s Climate Protection Partnerships Division commented, “Manufacturing partners like Aga Foodservice Equipment are vital to improving energy efficiency across the country.  Companies such as AFE have made outstanding efforts to give end-users the option of choosing energy efficient products that save money while educating them about the benefits for the environment.”

Iain Whyte, president of AFE’s parent company, Aga Foodservice Group, noted, “ All of our companies are dedicated to producing chilling or cooking equipment whose models are category leaders in resource preservation and efficient functionality.  We are honoured that the EPA and DoE have recognised our Aga Foodservice Equipment division for the energy savings and resource-consumption reductions its products offer our customers and society as a whole.”
