Trio Group cuts energy costs across its cool rooms

About Trio Group

Trio Group sources and distributes premium Asian food products to Australia's food service and retail sectors, supplying major clients including supermarket chains and wholesalers. Running several cool rooms on site to keep stock at the right temperature is central to the business, and that comes with a heavy energy load. "A lot, as we operate several cool rooms on-site," the team says, describing how rising energy prices have hit the business. Trio Group's cool room operation means refrigeration is one of its biggest fixed costs, so any rise in energy prices goes straight to the bottom line. Keeping product cold around the clock leaves little room to simply cut back on usage, which made finding a better energy deal a priority for the business.

How Zembl helped

Zembl compared the market on Trio Group's behalf and secured a new energy deal worth $3,800^ a year in savings. "It was a pleasant experience, a friendly consultant to assist in finding the best solution to cut the energy cost," the team says. The switch was handled with minimal disruption to the day to day running of the business.

_{^Savings are estimates only and are based on comparing the customer's previous energy rates with the new rates arranged through Zembl, using the customer's historical usage data. Actual savings may vary depending on changes to energy usage, future rates, and other factors outside of Zembl's control. Past savings are not a guarantee of future outcomes.
