GERMANY: Efficient Energy, the Bavarian refrigeration pioneer using water as a refrigerant, has been placed third in Germany’s latest Deloitte Technology Fast 50 ranking.

“We’re currently expanding our product range to make ‘water as a refrigerant’ available for even more applications. We’re also growing our partner network across Europe which will further drive growth,” he added.
