THE REPUBLIC OF CONGO OPENS TO THE COOLING TECHNOLOGY SIGNED EPTA: THE FTE SYSTEM OVERCOMES ANY CLIMATE CHALLENGE
The Republic of Congo opens for the first time to cooling technology signed Epta, with the installation of a transcritical CO2 plant equipped with the patented FTE (Full transcritical Efficiency) system which, symbol of the Sustainable Innovation of the Group, is ideal for overcoming any climate challenge.
The region, characterised by a tropical climate and by a temperature which is never lower than 23 degrees, presents unfavourable climate conditions which could make the use of CO2 as a coolant less performing.
Epta, nonetheless, designs and develops innovative, personalised and sustainable refrigeration systems, able to overcome every limit and ensure perfect operation of the systems in their maximum efficiency potential, at any latitude.
FRANPRIX: A WELL-ESTABLISHED NAME IN FRANCE, A SUCCESS IN CONGO, THANKS TO BONNET NéVé
Franprix, a well-established name in France for the variety and quality of products, opens its first store in Congo, in Pointe-Noire, main port and economic capital of the Country, entrusting itself successfully to Epta and to the Bonnet Névé brand of the Group, also due to the significant technological advantages observed in the existing African installations in Cameroon and in Mauritius.
The new store, with a surface area of 925 m², allows to diversify the local offer and hosts a vast assortment of Bonnet Névé refrigerated cabinets and display cases, flexible in the layout and combined with each other in attractive configurations and a linear and modern design.
The fresh area, represented by local gastronomic specialties and great classics of the French tradition, is significant within the supermarket and hosts:
- SkyView Plus, vertical positive of the SkyEffect family which, present in the double Open and Closed version, is intended for fruit and vegetables and prepacked cheese, guaranteeing optimal food preservation and maximum visibility, for greater profitability.
- Captur, refrigerated panoramic island with glass sliders and MultiFresh Plus, vertical Integral of the MultiCity range, ideal for impulse buying and promotional sales.
- Traditional refrigerated display case serve-over Shape M, of the Mozaїk line which, thanks to an excellent ratio between occupied floor space and display surface, enhances high-margin meat cuts.
Finally, in line with the market trends registered in France and in Europe, in its new African store, Franprix also favours the category of frozen foods, which are not easy to preserve in such a hot and humid climate.
Natural refrigeration by Epta, branded Bonnet Névé, has allowed the design of a large frozen zone, fitted with the vertical remote SkyLight, of the SkyEffect family, dedicated to these quality and long-lasting products.
