Smartcool Systems Inc. (TSXV: SSC) (OTC Pink: SSCFF) (FSE: R3W) are pleased to announce that Smartcool UK have successfully secured orders to install for Hall Hunter Partnership in the UK and are expecting significant energy savings to be delivered.

Hall Hunter Partnership have implemented and are currently installing Smartcool’s technology as part of its on-going drive to reduce energy consumption and to achieve significant energy reductions. Smartcool engineers are currently deploying ESM and ECO3 systems that will see a quick and positive energy reduction across the first two HHP sites. Further sites are planned and are expected to come on line in the very near future. Most fruit and vegetable crops require refrigeration to slow the ripening process while being transported to market. Smartcool’s’ proprietary optimization technology reduces the cost of this refrigeration process.

Nick Weedon, National Sales Agent for Smartcool, states, “Hall Hunter Partnership are a significant player in the berry growing world and deliver exceptional quality fruit across the UK and Western Europe, they also deliver quality and excellence through an approach that combines decades of experience, expertise and passion with modern, innovative techniques. This is achieved through family core values that Smartcool have been pleased to embrace, I look forward to delivering some very significant reductions across the HHP estate.”
