Range supplier KFE has won the Sustainable Catering Equipment Manufacturer Award at the prestigious Footprint Awards 2023.
The accolade recognises both the energy efficiency and performance of its Kiremko frying ranges, as well as the steps the company has taken to reduce its impact on the environment, including going carbon neutral.
On winning the award, one judge said: “This is easily the best application I’ve ever judged in this category, and the applicant clearly demonstrates how sustainability is considered in every aspect of their business. A strong submission from a company that is committed to reducing energy and lengthening oil life through its fryers – traditionally very energy intensive equipment! Good case studies provided with demonstrated savings.”
Paul Williams, managing director at KFE, comments: “Sustainability has always been at the heart of our frying ranges, even before it became a buzzword, so to have our efforts recognised at such a high level and alongside global brands such as Coca-Cola, KFC and Quorn is an absolute privilege.
“We’re just one company in a very big industry wanting to make a difference. We hope by taking the lead, customers will come to look for sustainability as standard across whatever it is they are purchasing, creating a better industry and planet for everyone.”
