“The Sustained Excellence Award is a validation of our long term commitment to sustainability and to manufacturing products that perform at the highest levels while leading their categories in energy and resource efficiency,” says Lei Schlitz, executive vice president, ITW FEG Worldwide. “All of us at ITW are incredibly proud to have earned this award for the seventh year in a row.”

With an expansive offering of more than 370 ENERGY STAR-certified products, ITW FEG focused on the development of next-generation, energy-efficient kitchen equipment in 2015.
