Scotsman Ice Maker prices held for second year in a row
Hubbard Ice Systems the UK distributors for Scotsman Ice Making Machines has announced that for the second year in succession Scotsman are holding the prices of all their machines at March 2009 levels. These prices will be held until December 2010.
In a move that will be welcomed by both public and private sector Hospitality and Catering businesses Scotsman are ‘bucking’ a trend that has seen many manufacturers and suppliers raise prices to counter falling sales and a plummeting pound.
Chris Davis, Commercial Director of Hubbard Ice Systems explains: “Scotsman have always had a reputation for the high quality of their manufacturing and this has paid dividends during the economic downturn by ensuring that more customers than ever before are specifying and purchasing Scotsman high quality ice making systems that require minimal maintenance and are energy efficient. It is highly relevant that most of our customers from both Public and Private Sector are looking to make savings by increasing their efficiency and are turning away from lesser quality specifications that incur a low capital outlay but have much higher maintenance and running costs”.
He continues, “Now we are able to make Scotsman an even more desirable option by holding our prices at 2009 levels. In effect, taking into account the cost of inflation currently at 3.4% (CPI annual inflation – the Government’s target measure – ONS Data), Scotsman Ice machines prices have been reduced, which has got to be good news for businesses and, as Scotsman machines are more efficient than ever before it’s also good environmental news.”
