Güntner Renews Natural Refrigerants Label from ATMOsphere

Reinforcing its leading role in promoting sustainability in the refrigeration and cooling industry, Güntner has renewed its Natural Refrigerants Label from ATMOsphere, a global market accelerator of clean cooling and heating solutions. The label represents a global gold standard highlighting best-in-class manufacturers of natural refrigerant systems and components.

Güntner first received the label in September 2022, and has now renewed it for the second time. Designed to help manufacturers market products to new customers in the natural refrigerants marketplace and to help end-users identify best-in-class suppliers, the label can be displayed in many different places, such as directly on products and on marketing material, email signatures, company pitches and trade show booths.

“MAINTAINING OUR ATMO APPROVED LABEL IS A TESTAMENT TO OUR UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY AND INNOVATION IN THE FIELD OF NATURAL REFRIGERANTS. AS A LEADING COMPANY IN THIS SECTOR, WE PRIORITISE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY IN EVERY ASPECT OF OUR OPERATIONS. OUR DEDICATION TO NATURAL REFRIGERANTS DEMONSTRATES OUR ROLE AS A BEST-IN-CLASS LEADER IN SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES, AND THIS LABEL REAFFIRMS OUR POSITION AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE INDUSTRY, CONSTANTLY STRIVING FOR EXCELLENCE IN ECO-FRIENDLY SOLUTIONS.”
MICHAEL FREIHERR MANAGING DIRECTOR OF GÜNTNER

“By being global and multi-application, the label helps to create trust,” added Marc Chasserot, ATMOsphere Founder and CEO. “We want to use this multi-year label process to help move the market to cleaner solutions with natural refrigerant solutions over time.”

Güntner believes that solutions such as carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrocarbons, air and water offer viable alternatives to synthetic refrigerants, which produce significant greenhouse gas emissions and are a risk to people and the environment. The company continues to test and explore their use in a state-of-the-art lab, and recently pledged to convert its entire product range to the use of eco-friendly substances.

The process of qualifying for the label is based on a unique methodology developed by ATMOsphere, and manufacturers need to demonstrate excellence across three pillars: company vision; customer satisfaction (measured through testimonials from multiple end users, confirming the reliability, performance and service of the company and its products); and measurable impact. Two new criteria included this year recognise a proactive approach to training customers, partners, employees and suppliers, and the avoidance of harmful polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), such as trifluoroacetic acid (TFA).

Oliver Heck, General Manager for German contractor HECK Kältetechnik, observed that Güntner’s direct evaporation cooling coils have “achieved the promised efficiencies. The technology has always been reliable, with good service and safety.”
