The Metro® C5™ 3 Series Heated Holding Cabinet with Insulation Armour™ was recognized by Appliance Design's Annual Excellence in Design Competition.

"The purpose of Appliance Design's Annual Excellence Competition is to honor those designers who have excelled in meeting the modern challenge of harmoniously melding technology and industrial design," said Richard Babyak, editor.

The C5 3 Series Cabinet with Insulation Armour, an exclusive product to Metro, was awarded a Silver EID in the competition.

This ground breaking cabinet was designed to solve one of the biggest issues in foodservice - How to make insulation available to the majority of users at an affordable price. Utilizing advanced polymer technology, Insulation Armour™ cabinets have 90% of the insulative properties of a traditionally insulated cabinet, cost 40% less than conventional insulated cabinets and use 40% less energy than non-insulated cabinets. Insulation Armour has low thermal conductivity and stays cooler-to-touch than all metal alternatives. Additionally, Insulation Armour has eye catching aesthetics, full length molded-in handles for improved maneuverability, and provides full body protection.

C5 3 Series Insulation Armour cabinets are Energy Star rated. They use less energy and lose less heat than their non-insulated counter parts. Operators will not only be making the right choice for the environment but will also experience genuine economic benefits when using Metro's Insulation Armour cabinets.

Many thanks to everyone who has helped design and launch this game changing product!
