In fact, HOBART's award-winning PREMAX FTP pass-through dishwasher heralds the beginning of a new era. It is the only machine on the market that can save up to 50 % of water, up to 30 % of power and up to 80 % of detergent. What is more, the reduction in power consumption can help to reduce CO₂ emissions significantly. That means the PREMAX FTP does not only help to curb operating costs. It makes a real environmental difference.

It is HOBART's contribution to a more efficient use of scarce resources and to protect our environment. "We're already working on brand-new technologies that will make dishwashers even more efficient. Because we believe we do have a responsibility towards our customers and the environment", says Silvio Koch.

As a matter of fact, the Dr. Georg Triebe Innovation Award 2008 is only the latest addition to an already impressive list of honours HOBART has received since the launch of the PREMAX technology. For instance: inclusion on Lothar Späth's "Top 100" list of Germany's most innovative companies, Federal President Horst Köhler's invitation to join in the "Week of the Environment", FCSI European Award, "Gastro" Innovation Award, Seatrade Insider Cruise Award (cruise business), Mercury Award (airline catering), "Küche Award Technik".
