Electrolyzer Corporation Receives Kitchen Innovation Award From The National Restaurant Association

Annual Award Ceremony Scheduled for May at the NRA Convention in Chicago

[ClickPress, Wed Mar 01 2006] Electrolyzer Corporation announced today that it has received official confirmation from the National Restaurant Association that the company is slated to receive the Award for Kitchen Innovation, the association’s highest award, at the Association’s annual convention and expo in Chicago in May of this year.

All of the Kitchen Innovation (KI) Award products were judged and selected by an independent panel of food service industry experts to be the most innovative food service equipment in the world. The independent panel of KI Award judges represents a cross-section of leading design experts and multi-unit restaurant executives. This year’s expert judges are: Martin Cowley (Sr. Mgr., Restaurant Design, Disneyland Resort), William Eaton (President, Cini-Little International), John Egnor (President, JEM Associates), Robert Forrester (V.P., Concept Development, Quiznos Sub), Rick Gentry (Director, Tech. Services, ARAMARK), Robert Marshall (V.P., U.S. Operations, McDonald’s Corporation), Robert Pacifico (Executive V.P., Romano/Gatland), and Kathleen Seelye (President Foodservice, Ricca Newmark Design).

Electrolyzer Corp. won this prestigious award for its ElectroCide System. This remarkable, patented device makes electrolyzed water which is a completely safe, non-toxic disinfecting agent that can safely be applied to food preparation surfaces, floors food preparation equipment and even food itself to completely sanitize by killing bacteria and viruses in seconds. It leaves no chemical residue, is completely safe and is a replacement for the toxic and often corrosive chemicals that have been stored and used in commercial kitchens for decades.

According to Electrolyzer’s CEO, Duane Mayo, “This technology has been around for several years. But like any new innovation, was born with a flaw. That flaw was the inability to tank and store large amounts of electrolyzed water because it would destabilize and lose its efficacy in a few days. We have developed and patented enhancements to the technology that allows water which has been electrolyzed with our device to remain stable for months. In other words, our developments have taken a ground breaking technology and added that special element of practical applicability. Over time, we truly hope that the days of the dangerous toxic chemical in the commercial kitchen cabinet will largely go away.”

“Last year, more than 4,000 Show attendees visited our industry-first Kitchen Innovations pavilion. By taking part in hands-on demonstrations provided by the Kitchen Innovations Award recipients, attendees were able to discover the world’s most innovative foodservice equipment. We expect even more to do so this year,” said Association President and Chief Executive Officer Steven C. Anderson. “The 2005 award recipients received great attention within the industry and in the media. That focus underscores the ability of our Show and KI initiatives to help streamline foodservice operations and set industry directions. I look forward to seeing this year's award recipients in action and discovering the next hot trends.”

Now in its 87th year, the annual National Restaurant Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show is the largest single gathering of restaurant, foodservice and lodging professionals in North and South America. As the industry’s premier business venue, it offers attendees the best opportunities of the year for networking and exploring new trends, as well as insight on myriad industry issues via seminars and special events. The 2006 Show will be held May 20-23, at McCormick Place in Chicago, Ill. The Show attracts close to 2,000 exhibiting companies and nearly 73,000 attendees and visitors from all 50 states and 100 countries.
