A history in the commercial refrigeration

1830

Bonnet was established in 1830 as a manufacturer of professional catering equipment in the area of Lyon, on Nicolas Bonnet's initiative. In 1930 Bonnet arrived in the food retail refrigeration equipment sector. In 1985, the new Hendaye factory was opened, with a total area of 44.000 m2, and Bonnet Réfrigération was born.

1932

Névé appeared in 1932: in 1962 it associated with Satam and became Satam Névé. In 1978 it joined the Thompson Group.

1988

In 1988, Bonnet Réfrigération and Satam Névé merged in the soon-to-be EPTA group and became Bonnet Névé, today a leading brand in the design and production of refrigerated showcases and counters, cooling packs and systems for the mass retailer sector.

1988-2000

Over the past 20 years, Bonnet Névé proved to be a pioneer, winning numerous challenges that involved visual merchandising and new technologies in commercial refrigeration.

Passion stirs the professionals at Bonnet Névé in their pursuit of customised, always innovative refrigeration solutions, to respond to the requirements of partners and consumers. This was the key to the development – in the last few years – of refrigerated showcases and cabinets with an extremely successful design, able to maximise profitability through optimised product presentation.

Eurovent Certification

Bonnet Névé adheres to the voluntary European Eurovent program for the energy performance levels of refrigerated counters. Eurovent independently certifies the performance of the equipment in terms of air treatment, air conditioning and refrigeration based on shared European and international standards. The objective of the voluntary Eurovent certification is to strengthen client confidence through a common and independent platform for all manufacturers, which may help increase the integrity and accuracy of industrial appraisal: that's why an easy-to-read label was created to guide in the appraisal of the counter's energy performance levels.
