"Enodis and its operating companies engaged a global team of metallurgical experts with vast experience in a variety of industries, including steel suppliers, leading metal laboratories, and testing agencies, explained Rick Caron, chief technology officer at Enodis.  "Through this collaborative effort, we’ve life-and-stress tested optimal grades of stainless steel on multiple criteria to determine their suitability for use in demanding foodservice applications.  By expanding our proven Enovation process to include materials management, we're further improving our ability to meet customer requirements for equipment performance, durability and value."

Enodis vice president of purchasing Tom Tetlow explains that Enodis supply partners are essential and valuable assets in identifying, evaluating and selecting new materials.
