At EuroShop 2026 , Epta introduces its new corporate tagline , GOOD NEVER STOPS , expressing the Group's renewed value proposition and its vision for development in the commercial refrigeration sector. This guiding principle represents a concrete commitment to a continuous, responsible growth model geared towards long-term value creation.

The new positioning is part of a strategy that places innovation , sustainability and digitalisation at its centre, with the aim of supporting retailers in the transformation of their stores and the optimisation of energy and operational performance.

Zenith: New positive verticals for the fresh produce department

Among the main innovations previewed at EuroShop 2026, Zenith stands out, the new line of positive vertical cabinets developed by the Costan and Bonnet Névé brands and dedicated to the display of fresh products .

The range was created to meet the needs of contemporary retail , where product visibility and the shopping experience play an increasingly strategic role. Zenith is designed as a highly transparent display system , in which glass and glazed surfaces help enhance the products on display and improve the perception of quality in the fresh produce section.

From a merchandising perspective, the counters' structure is designed to guide the consumer's gaze along the purchasing path. Tilting internal grids and adjustable shelves allow for various display configurations, while state-of-the-art LED lighting helps highlight the products.

Energy efficiency and natural refrigerants

The Zenith line was developed with a strong focus on energy efficiency and the use of natural refrigerants . The models in the range achieve energy class B and use 100% natural refrigerants , while a prototype presented at the fair was designed to reach class A in the 3M0 category .

The optimisation of the refrigeration circuit, the increase in the thickness of the structural insulation and the use of high-efficiency components contribute to significantly reducing heat loss and energy consumption.

Among the relevant technical elements:

• Improved insulation with foam structure up to 60 mm
• fans optimised to reduce consumption whilst maintaining cooling performance
• evaporators with different configurations to ensure thermal stability
• High-efficiency LED lighting to enhance the display

Connectivity and digital services

Zenith cabinets also integrate connectivity and remote monitoring solutions via EptaService's SwitchOn digital platform , which allows for the supervision of operating parameters and the management of refrigeration assets in real time.

Thanks to these features, retailers can monitor system performance, optimize consumption, and improve the operational continuity of refrigeration units in the store.

With the new tagline GOOD NEVER STOPS and the presentation of the Zenith range, Epta confirms its commitment to developing advanced solutions for commercial refrigeration, capable of combining energy efficiency, sustainability and enhancing the shopping experience.
