Carlow firm CBL Equipment sign major distribution deal

Trish Dromey meets a firm that has just signed a significant distribution deal for its energy efficient chafing dish.

USED for more than 500 years to keep food warm, the chafing dish has been given a 21st century upgrade by Carlow company CBL Equipment by the addition of an energy efficient catalytic burner.

The resulting patent pending Castle Chafer is, according to company managing director James Kearney, 75% more energy efficient than other chafing dishes on the market and also works more efficiently than them by keeping food hotter for longer.
