What Does it Mean to be a 2023 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year?

Businesses and organizations that make outstanding contributions to the transition to a clean energy economy are honored by the Environmental Protection Agency each year through the ENERGY STAR awards. Winners are chosen from thousands of ENERGY STAR partners. In recognition of our continuous commitment to energy efficiency, Vulcan has proudly been an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year for 16 consecutive years alongside our ITW Food Equipment Group sister companies. This year, we received our 14th ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence award – the highest honor among the ENERGY STAR awards.

ABOUT THE ENERGY STAR PROGRAM

Since 1992, ENERGY STAR and its partners have helped American families and businesses save 5 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity and avoid more than $500 billion in energy costs. The blue ENERGY STAR sticker is a government-backed symbol for energy efficiency. Products are given this sticker of approval after meeting product specification requirements. That blue sticker means a lot to us, so we continuously work to develop energy-efficient products.

THE BENEFITS OF ENERGY STAR® CERTIFIED EQUIPMENT

The winners of the ENERGY STAR awards lead industries in the production and sale of energy-efficient products. We’ve shown this by providing a range of ENERGY STAR® certified product series. This means if you need a quick recovery fryer like the Powerfry5™, we’ve got you covered. And if you need an energy-efficient griddle, oven, or low water energy steamer, we’ve got you covered there also.

For any food service operation, using equipment that is highly efficient can lead to more profit. Switching to ENERGY STAR® certified equipment can help you save on monthly utility bills without compromising cooking performance. Additionally, using ENERGY STAR® certified products can also help you do your part to reduce your carbon footprint while qualifying for state incentives. It’s a win-win!

We’re super proud to manufacture high-performing products that deliver superior energy efficiency, and we’ll continue to do so for the years to come.
