Glasgow, UK: Star Refrigeration is a sponsor of World Refrigeration Day, a global initiative to raise the profile of the refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump sectors.
The annual event, which takes place on Friday 26 June, focuses on the temperature controlled industry and its role in modern life.
The event also highlights how refrigeration plays an essential backstage role across many key industries, including the food and drink supply chain.
The current Covid-19 pandemic emphasises the importance of cooling technology to industries such as pharmaceutical manufacture, food processing and temperature controlled storage and distribution.
Rob Lamb, sales and marketing director, Star Refrigeration, says: “The Covid-19 pandemic has brought the vital role of our widely unrecognised industry into the spotlight. We hope that by promoting our day-to-day work in providing an essential service, we will raise the profile of refrigeration engineering and encourage more people to join our sector.”
World Refrigeration Day will bring businesses together in dozens of countries for a series of refrigeration-related activities and events, promoted online and through social media. The annual celebration on 26 June marks the birthday of Kelvin (born 1824) who pioneered the international system of absolute temperature.
