The importance of keeping it green

With ‘Be Ready’ the major theme at this year’s exhibit, solutions showcased True’s capability in designing energy-saving refrigeration equipment, fit for the future.

HOST was the first exhibition where every True refrigerator or freezer on display, from food prep tables to visual display merchandisers, all run on R290 natural refrigerant.

As older, energy-inefficient refrigerants (which can harm the environment if improperly handled) are phased out, True has led the way in converting its entire product line to run on R290, also known as HC refrigerant. HC refrigerants are the most economical and environmentally friendly alternative, futureproofing refrigeration and giving True’s customers peace of mind.

Guaranteed freshness with added value

An added advantage of R290 natural refrigerant comes in the form of increased efficiency, as operators can net savings in electricity consumption and costs by using True equipment running on HC refrigerant.

True’s new line-up of GN-compatible counter refrigerators and freezers, showcased at HOST, use the least amount of energy compared to other products available on the market today while always maintaining the coldest, most consistent holding temperatures in the hottest kitchens. Perfect for a busy fast food concept where quality and consistency are a must.

Display, store or preparation: new and improved models to whet the appetite

Showcasing eight new and improved models, True’s exhibit was divided into sectors to show how its range of professional refrigeration equipment fits into various foodservice applications. Whether it’s a pizzeria, a professional kitchen, or even a chic coffee shop or juice bar, visitors were guided down True’s exhibit to gather ideas on how to integrate refrigeration equipment into their concept.

Also on show were True’s expanded line of GN2/1-compatible vertical refrigerators and freezers (perfect for organizing a busy professional kitchen), and for anyone seeking inspiration to liven up their bar area, True’s new designs in glass door bar coolers entice customers with a light up display while keeping drinks ice cold.

Stunning customization options for your concept

Customization options for refrigeration without limits

Flexible configuration and color options were in the spotlight too, giving visitors a taste of the possibilities for customizing True products to create stand-out features in concepts or open kitchens.
