We are thrilled to announce that our Panama Green freezer, powered by LEAP™ technology, has been honoured with the IRI Product Innovation Award, recognizing its groundbreaking impact on sustainable refrigeration for Irish and global retailers.

Revolutionizing Refrigeration with Panama Green

The Panama Green freezer is more than just a product; it’s a movement towards a future where sustainability and efficiency go hand in hand. Its innovative LEAP™ technology—a revolutionary system where the entire refrigeration mechanism is housed in an easily removable cassette external to the food chamber—sets a new standard for scalable and sustainable refrigeration solutions.

This pioneering design offers an unrivalled alternative to traditional CO₂-based systems, addressing some of the most pressing challenges faced by the retail sector, including:

• Dramatic energy consumption reductions,
• Lower installation and maintenance costs, and
• Faster setup times.

These benefits empower food retailers to seamlessly achieve their sustainability and commercial objectives with enhanced efficiency.

Global Recognition: Energy Star Certification

The Panama Green freezer is also the only plugin freezer in the world to achieve Energy Star certification, a testament to its exceptional energy efficiency. This milestone removes barriers that have long hindered the large-scale adoption of plugin refrigeration, making Panama Green a game-changer in the industry.

Designed to Excel

The freezer’s standout features include:

• Unmatched energy efficiency that significantly reduces environmental impact,
• Minimal noise levels, ensuring a quieter retail environment,
• Low heat discharge, enhancing store comfort,
• Negligible maintenance requirements, saving time and resources.

These features redefine the possibilities for environmentally responsible refrigeration, offering retailers a solution that is not only sustainable but also commercially viable.

A Sustainable Future

Panama Green represents a significant departure from the energy-intensive, ecologically harmful systems of the past. By replacing complex, low-temperature refrigeration racks with a simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly alternative, this freezer is poised to transform the supermarket refrigeration sector.

This award-winning innovation demonstrates Novum’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of refrigeration technology, aligning with our vision to protect the planet for future generations while delivering exceptional commercial value to our partners.

What This Means for Retailers

The Panama Green freezer is more than just a product—it’s a symbol of progress and possibility. Retailers can now embrace a future where achieving sustainability objectives no longer means compromising on efficiency or profitability.

We’re incredibly proud to receive the IRI Product Innovation Award for Panama Green and are excited to continue delivering solutions that drive the industry forward.
