Brits offer triple-threat at EuroShop

GERMANY: British manufacturers Kenfield, Aerofoil and Ovaglas have created a triple-threat on one stand at this week’s EuroShop exhibition in Düsseldorf.

Kenfield, the manufacturer of doorway innovations for the food retail, foodservice, hospitality and warehousing industries is joined by glass supplier Ovaglas and energy-saving shelf strip company Aerofoil on stand D21 in hall 15 at Messe Düsseldorf.

“We have worked alongside Aerofoil and Ovaglas at a number of industry events in the US, flying the flag for British innovation,” explained Kenfield MD Jon Carn. “EuroShop gives us the opportunity to show global retailers how our combined visions can make an incredible difference to their operations.”

All three businesses manufacture a range of products that are designed to help customers cut their costs and improve operational efficiency, whilst also alleviating environmental concerns. 

Kenfield focuses on reducing energy and maintenance costs while improving operational efficiency for global retailers with products such as its K750 Energy Door and K150 Impact Door.

The patented, award winning K750 is our game-changing solution for reducing warm air ingress in walk-in coldrooms, reducing energy consumption, maintenance costs and ice build-up. Meanwhile, the K150 is a double action impact door for high traffic areas in retail and foodservice environments. 

Ovaglas gained its reputation through glass coatings for solar efficiency, protective properties and enhanced privacy. Celanese developed Clarifoil, a pioneering film used for freezer doors to prevent fogging.

This film, which comes from a sustainable source and is not polyester based, reduces the need electric heating, which adds to energy usage and costs.

Invisidoor is Aerofoil’s passive airflow system for open refrigerated display cases that eliminates the need for a physical barrier between customers and chilled food.

Aerofoil will be providing an F1 racing simulator on the stand, aiming to showcase the power of aerodynamics and their air curtain technology. Visitors to the stand will be invited to try their hand at a time trial and top the innovation partnership’s leaderboard.
