DEL Ozone Selected as Approved Supplier by Hilton Worldwide

Online, August 13, 2012 (Newswire.com) - DEL Ozone announces that Hilton Worldwide Supply Management has approved DEL as a supplier of ozone laundry systems for on-premise laundries in all of its properties, owned or managed. The DEL Clean Ozone Laundry Program will offer hotel managers a 100% performance guarantee that will reduce energy, water, linen and fabric softener costs through a no cost trial program.

The DEL Clean Ozone Laundry Program is a no risk program designed to ensure outstanding linen outcomes with lower costs for laundry operations in hotel on-premise laundries. The Program ensures meeting these objectives by providing end-to-end service, including analysis, product design, manufacturing and installation, in-service for laundry staff and authorized service. With a performance guarantee based on the specific conditions of each installation, laundry operators can securely project cost savings and investment payback.

The DEL Clean Ozone Laundry Program has demonstrated its effectiveness and reliability in tests in Hilton properties of different kinds. In these tests, DEL ozone laundry systems achieved hot water savings of 50% to 75%, thereby reducing energy use for significant cost savings delivering a first year return on investment (ROI) of 60% to well over 100%, with investment recapture periods from 8 to 20 months. In states with energy reduction incentive programs, DEL has been able to reduce the investment cost for on-premise laundry operators by showing how the ozone laundry systems qualify for cash incentive payments.

Hilton Supply Management is making the ozone laundry systems program available to Hilton, Hampton, Hilton Garden Inn, Embassy Suites, Doubletree, and Homewood Suites properties. Ownership and management teams will contract directly with DEL Ozone under the general agreement between DEL Ozone and Hilton Worldwide.
