The Husky Group, a leader in refrigeration in the UK for over 50 years, has recently announced its new DS5 Energy-Miser multi chiller, a four-shelf, single door static cooler that comes with three brightly coloured canopies (one already fitted): “five a day” for fruit and vegetables, “fresh salad” and “fresh flowers”.

As well as providing dedicated prominence to these high margin products, the Energy-Miser multi chiller prolongs the shelf life of fruit – particularly soft fruits such as strawberries – and reduces dehydration for optimum flower displays. “Convenience retailing has moved away from general grocery sales into impulse purchases – notably food to go or immediate consumption. This requires a more tailored offering than purely ambient and retailers who differentiate their chilled products in individual displays are among the most successful,” said Geoff Thomasson, Chief Executive, Husky Group.

Every Energy-Miser chiller is Enhanced Capital Allowance-listed: a Government scheme encouraging UK businesses to reduce their carbon emissions. According to the company’s press release, Husky chillers are part of an exclusive range of energy-saving products, allowing businesses to deduct 100% of first year capital allowance against their taxable profits. The range is also part of Husky’s commitment to free disposal of old equipment in “like for like” purchases.
