Refrigeration industry insider Mario Bittner and tech expert Dr. Sören Hein become new members of the advisory board of Efficient Energy

Feldkirchen, 12 October 2020. The manufacturer of sustainable refrigeration technology from Feldkirchen near Munich was able to win Mario Bittner, Managing Director of Konzmann GmbH and Dr. Sören Hein, partner at MIG Verwaltungs AG, for its advisory board.

With Dr. Wolfgang Colberg, Michael Motschmann and Prof. Dr. Heinrich von Pierer, Efficient Energy has already had a top-class advisory board with representatives from industry and business. From September 2020 on, Mario Bittner, a refrigeration expert with decades of industry experience contributes to the advisory board.
“Efficient Energy has accomplished pioneering work with its technology that uses water as a refrigerant. Now we need to scale this technology into other products so that customers with requirements for higher cooling capacities can also benefit from clean cooling. Due to the legal situation, there is currently a strongly increasing demand for sustainable refrigeration technology and Efficient Energy has already anticipated this need. I’m looking forward to supporting Efficient Energy leading the revolution of the refrigeration market with their disruptive technology,” said Mario Bittner about his new role as a member of the advisory board at Efficient Energy GmbH.
