Dr Alex Mardapittas, managing director of EMSc, said: “We are delighted and overwhelmed by the response to the conference.

“We knew when we planned the event that there is a desire to learn more about sustainability, but we had no idea that the manufacturing sector would be this enthused about finding ways to improve energy efficiency.”

Speakers include Dr Mardapittas and representatives from the British Frozen Food Federation, environmental consultancy Blue Castle and manufacturing specialists AESSEAL.

In addition, EMSc has announced that it will be launching the latest addition to its range of energy-saving solutions at the conference.
