ST. LOUIS — Emerson (NYSE: EMR) recently hosted its 10th day-long E360 Forum in Newark, New Jersey, providing more than 100 commercial refrigeration industry stakeholders with a wealth of insights on food retail and foodservice regulatory concerns and emerging trends.
The E360 Forum featured a keynote session by Jon Melchi, vice president of government affairs and business development for Heating Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Distributors International (HARDI). Melchi provided context regarding the degree to which the active regulatory climate is shaping the industry, including the 25 major rules targeted at the HVACR industry since the beginning of the Obama administration, which have had a financial impact of roughly $76.6 billion to the industry.
