"Products like the ionator EXP from Activeion make restaurants run faster, smoother and more efficiently, which will result in better customer service and higher quality food," says Ira Cohn, convention chair for NRA Show 2010 and president of ARAMARK Business and Industry Group. "Selecting the right equipment for a restaurant kitchen is crucial to creating and serving safe, nutritious and delicious meals."

"The ionator EXP is great for restaurants and food service operations. When applied to a surface, the ionized water cleans and kills harmful bacteria without chemicals, even H1N1, while leaving nothing behind -- zero residue," says Todd Schaeffer, vice-president and general manager, Activeion Cleaning Solutions. "In fact, the ionator EXP is one of the only cleaners in the world without a chemical-related health warning label, providing an excellent alternative for cleaning -- and a good choice for humans, animals and the environment. It's easy on the budget too -- just fill with tap water and you're ready to clean and sanitize."

The Kitchen Innovations Awards are judged by an independent panel of restaurant, foodservice and lodging industry leaders, and sponsored by the National Restaurant Association.

The ionator EXP, along with the other Kitchen Innovations winners, will be showcased at the 2010 National Restaurant Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show®, from May 22-25 at Chicago's McCormick Place, the largest single gathering of restaurant, foodservice and lodging professionals in the world.
