Throughout its history, Panasonic has moved with the times to reflect the changing nature of society and the market in which it operates.
Its seven guiding principles, set by its founder, Kōnosuke Matsushita, have stood the company in good stead for over a century – and they’re no more important than today, as Panasonic continues with its innovation and moves into a new phase of development.
With sustainability at the core of its business strategy, Panasonic is committed to a sustainable future.
Its Green Impact is in action now and guides the company as it transitions to a circular economy.
True to its guiding principle, not only does Panasonic want to reduce its emissions to net zero, but it also wants to contribute significantly to avoiding emissions in society through its future products and technology.
Having developed its first professional microwave in the early 1960s, Panasonic has over 50 years’ worth of experience of working with microwave technology and customers around the world.
This specialist knowledge and expertise have been applied to Panasonic’s current range of equipment, and the company is a global market leader in microwave and rapid cook technology.
Panasonic understands how to reliably deliver on high-quality requirements, and its devotion to doing so is reflected in its extensive range of professional microwave ovens for commercial use.
High-quality, high-performance solutions very much designed to support today’s chef, in the tough everyday working conditions of a professional kitchen, in every market.
With the cost of energy at the highest it’s ever been, energy efficiency has never been as important as it is now and it’s understandably become a major concern for operators – not just in terms of sustainability and environmental considerations, but for how it impacts overall budgets.
Panasonic’s flagship NE-1878 inverter microwave is the most energy efficient machine it produces.
Recent independent expert testing of the 1878 proves the performance of Panasonic’s NPD and use of innovative technology in providing operators with equipment which performs excellently.
As the first unit of its kind to use inverter technology, the 1878 commercial microwave has energy savings of up to 18% compared to other similar models.
With the inverter technology, a chef can go from reheating a portion of soup to melting chocolate simply by selecting the correct power supply – the inverter delivers more even, constant and varied power.
This allows operators to benefit from significant energy-saving capabilities as it offers gentler, more even cooking, on a lower power setting.
The unit’s functionality to programme multiple stage cooking means the inverter can be used to help take products from a frozen state to fully reheated in a matter of minutes. The test results for the 1878 model generated outstanding results in terms of both its energy efficiency and overall performance.
Operators looking to improve the energy efficiency within their kitchens will benefit from using an energy-saving microwave and the subsequent cost savings as a result.
