2009 NAFEM SHOW - Was a Great Success!!!
We would like to thank everyone who attended our booth at the NAFEM Show 2009. Despite the shows overall decrease in attendance and our current economic situation NAFEM ’09 was a great success for us. We announced the purchase of The Zeroll Company and Omega Foodservice, both legacy brands in the foodservice equipment arena. Between these acquisitions and the launch of General and Maxx Cold’s new equipment lineup there was a lot of excitement in the air!
In addition to our new company purchases and product line expansion we also had a great deal of media exposure both in print and in radio. The President of Asbury Foodservice, Neal Asbury, hosted a special 2 hour radio show at the booth site on WZAB-AM 880 The Biz, Coral Gables, Florida.
