Epta combines the design of cutting-edge and sustainable products with innovation of service/system and process. This vocation is aimed at offering the widest and most complete range of solutions for commercial refrigeration, thus consolidating the Group’s leadership in supply, installation and maintenance of systems, both directly and through an extensive network of distributors worldwide.

Emissions of greenhouse gases at global level are set to increase in coming years, above all due to developing countries which will have access to the cold chain to transport and store food products and to conditioning systems to protect themselves from a world that is heating up. Recent studies show that to respond to the requests of the global market 19 HVAC&R units a second will be installed in the next 30 years. (Source: Toby Peters, Professor in Cold

Economy, University of Birmingham). Choosing natural refrigeration will increasingly become a must to help contribute towards lowering the carbon footprint. Europe is opening the road to technologies able to combat climate changes with the goal of driving the transition to a climate-neutral economy by 2050, as required by the recent European Green Deal. To support Retailers, Epta System Engineering has studied ideal system solutions for every project: technologies which look to the future, to direct the sector towards eco-friendly alternatives.
