Australia's peak industry design awards - the highest honour for design and innovation in the country - were announced at The 61st annual Good Design Award Ceremony. Our AP500 commercial underbench dishwasher that connects to COLD WATER was recognised for outstanding design and innovation - and we're still buzzing!
Managing Director at Norris Industries, Greg Gates and the R&D team responsible for developing the machine, Damien Berry and Ian Beeraz, attended the ceremony with Chair of the Board of Directors, Tracey Freinberger.
The award came out of high commitment to completely change the way a commercial dishwasher supports the busy work environment that is the Australian commercial kitchen.
Norris Industries has been building and supplying reliable commercial glass and dishwashers to the hospitality industry for over sixty years and our focus has always been built-to-last, reliable machines with lower energy consumption, three important things to any good hospitality operator.
The machine stunned judges, designers and engineers with its unique ability to connect to cold water and clever internal element design.
