GLASGOW, United Kingdom, Sept. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Star Refrigeration has maintained its commitment to the Scottish Association of Meat Wholesalers (SAMW) by sponsoring its 2025 Annual Conference. Taking place on Friday 26th September at The Royal Highland Centre Pavilion in Ingliston. The conference will bring together delegates from across Scotland’s red meat sector to hear from expert speakers and connect with peers.
SAMW Conference
The event is recognised as one of the most important forums for Scotland’s red meat industry, bringing together processors, industry leaders and policymakers to explore the issues shaping the sector’s future. From regulation and sustainability to innovation and skills, the conference provides a platform for attendees to exchange ideas, address industry challenges and encourage action.
As a trusted technical partner to meat processors across Scotland and the wider UK, Star Refrigeration brings decades of expertise in sustainable cooling and heating. The company has worked closely with red meat businesses to help them reduce their environmental impact, cut energy costs and strengthen their operations in the face of tightening legislation and evolving customer environmental expectations.
At the conference, Star’s engineering experts will be on hand to provide advice and insights on how innovative technology, natural refrigerants, heat recovery and digital energy optimisation tools can support the sector’s drive towards lower carbon emissions and improved efficiency.
Stuart Webb, Sales Manager for Scotland at Star Refrigeration, said: “Supporting SAMW is part of our ongoing commitment to the red meat sector. We work in partnership with processors and industry organisations to ensure businesses have access to technical knowledge and real-world case studies, advocating for the adoption of cleaner, greener and safer industrial cooling solutions.
“In one recent project, we delivered a new low-temperature freezer plant serving a large carton freezer and three impingement tunnels, alongside a three-chamber cold store capable of running at both chilled and frozen temperatures. Using a CO₂ and ammonia cascade system, the installation not only expanded capacity but also integrated advanced heat recovery to cut energy use, reduce emissions and lower running costs.”
“We’ll be on hand to share our experience in projects like this to highlight how Star partners with meat businesses to design future-proof facilities.”
The SAMW Annual Conference will run from 10:30am to 1:00pm, followed by a three-course networking lunch, giving delegates the chance to make valuable connections with key industry figures and suppliers. To find out more about the Scottish Association of Meat Wholesalers, visit https://samw.org.uk/
