Going Green
Cres Cor is dedicated to providing products made with recycled materials. Today, 75% of the stainless steel used in their factory is recycled!

Alternative Energy
In an effort to find renewable energy sources, Cres Cor installed a 70,000 square-foot field of solar panels behind their manufacturing facility to power a large percentage of their operations.

Innovative Equipment with Alternate Energy Sources
Innovate and energy efficiency collide with the “Off the Grid” hot cabinets from Cres Cor. Indoors or out, the cabinets offer the flexibility to move anywhere while maintaining long-term hot holding without the use of electrical power. The HotCube runs on propane only for efficient and affordable off-premise holding that lasts for hours!

Energy Star
Cres Cor hot cabinets are fully insulated to trap heat and save on energy costs over their long lifespan. The efficiency of these hot cabinets has earned Cres Cor the badge of Energy Star rated equipment. See the comparison of thermal images of a competitor’s cabinet vs a Cres Cor hot cabinet.
