Continental Refrigerator

"Continental wins by delivering U.S.-designed and U.S.-built commercial refrigeration with a strong reliability + flexibility story—paired with energy-efficiency leadership (hundreds of ENERGY STAR certified models) for operators who need dependable cold-holding without premium-brand pricing."

Official Name

Continental Refrigerator (a division of NRAC)

The Goal

"Grow share in commercial foodservice refrigeration by expanding energy-efficient product coverage (ENERGY STAR + low-GWP refrigerants), reinforcing U.S.-manufacturing credibility, and winning mid-market operators that demand durable equipment, fast serviceability, and configurable formats (reach-ins, prep, worktops, pass-thrus)."

Interception Action Item

"Discovery: quantify (1) current downtime/service tickets, (2) energy spend for refrigeration, (3) required formats (reach-in vs pass-thru vs prep/worktop), and (4) compliance needs (ENERGY STAR/low-GWP). Then map which stations are the highest risk for temp excursions and spec the “must-not-fail” units first."
