The Viessmann Group, one of the leading international manufacturers of system solutions in heating, air conditioning and cooling technology, will be exhibiting at Euroshop 2014 with an extended range of products and services. In addition to cold rooms for trade and industry, the company is now offering innovative, high-efficiency refrigeration systems for food retailers.

European market leader Viessmann Kältetechnik GmbH, a major manufacturer of cold rooms, has been part of the group of companies since 2012. By acquiring the Finnish Norpe Group, the leading manufacturer of innovative commercial refrigeration systems in the Nordic countries, Viessmann has enlarged its product range to include refrigeration cabinets, lamellas and power packs for the food retail industry. This takes Viessmann an important step closer to its aim of becoming a full-service provider for cooling technology.

In refrigeration, just as with heating technology, Viessmann is continually seeking to improve energy efficiency and therefore reduce operating costs. Customers will be the first to benefit from the merging of different areas of expertise. In future, a single source will provide heating, cooling and air conditioning systems, individually adapted energy management as well as extensive support and consulting service.
