FREOR NDL IDA QB Wins European Product Design Award 2026

Good design should do more than look good. It should make the product function better.
FREOR NDL IDA QB has been recognized with a European Product Design Award 2026, winning in two categories:
- ECO DESIGN / Sustainable: Industrial Products
- INDUSTRIAL / Energy: Other Designs
The European Product Design Award honors international design excellence that improves everyday life through innovation, functionality, and sustainability.
This recognition of our NDL IDA QB reflects what we set out to achieve: a refrigeration solution where design, energy efficiency, and product presentation work as one.
Designed around the product
In retail, refrigeration equipment is part of the shopping experience.
NDL IDA QB combines clean and contemporary design with 360° product visibility, helping products stand out while keeping the equipment visually light and unobtrusive.
Its glass lids provide a clear view of products while improving energy efficiency.
Nothing unnecessary. Nothing hidden behind the design. Just a clear view of what matters.
Efficiency built into the design
NDL IDA QB was reengineered as an ENERGY model, bringing together carefully selected, cutting-edge components designed to work in synergy and maximize overall system performance and energy efficiency.
Extensive testing has refined the combination of refrigeration components to deliver a reliable, effective solution. Fitted with FREOR-manufactured, slim, frameless glass lids, it further improves energy efficiency.
The latest model reaches Energy Class B, delivering up to 45% higher energy efficiency than previous models, thanks in part to the insulated glass units (IGUs) side panels of NDL IDA QB.
With R290 natural refrigerant and an energy-focused design, NDL IDA QB brings sustainability into everyday store operations.
Design that works
NDL IDA QB is designed to adapt to different retail environments. It can be used as a stand-alone, side-by-side, back-to-back, or even positioned as an island version of 4 counters, supporting constantly changing merchandising needs. Available in three lengths: 1250, 1600, and 2500 mm.
The European Product Design Award recognition celebrates both its sustainable design and energy-focused engineering.
For us, that is the point of design. Not design for design’s sake. Design that works for every supermarket.
NDL IDA QB. Designed to be seen. Designed to perform.
