Gram Refrigeration
Founded in 1901, by Hans Gram, as a machine manufacturer and electrical installation firm, the company was subsequently joined by his brother, Aage. By 1908, Gram had begun the development of refrigeration equipment, but mass production was not introduced until 1960. Throughout the next two decades, additional companies developed in England, Finland, France, Germany, Norway and the USA. In the early 2000s, Gram produced a range of low energy consuming refrigeration units. The company became part of the Japan-based Hoshizaki Group in 2008.
Gram heads the commercial refrigeration market, offering the highest-quality products with cutting edge design, which factor in environmental concerns. The company endows the professional caterer with products that aid in promoting efficiency, whilst remaining environmentally friendly. Most Gram products come with extensive parts and labour warranties of 2/3 years. Servicing is performed by local agents using genuine Gram parts with backup from the technical department. Additionally, spares are available for up to 10 years from the date of purchase, including for “obsolete” products which have been removed from the Gram product catalogue.
Gram has shown great commitment to environmental issues with a large number of its products appearing in the Energy Technology Product List, managed by the Carbon Trust. This commitment is demonstrated by way of several policies, including:
1. The development and manufacture of refrigeration products that are increasingly environmentally friendly, with minimal use of energy/resources and as few emissions as possible.
2. The provision of education and motivation within the organisation for employees to act in a responsible fashion with regard to the environment.
3. The open provision of information regarding the manner in which the company affects internal and external environments.
4. Ensuring that suppliers provide raw materials that coincide with environmentally friendly production methods.
