Sojitz Machinery Corporation will begin selling top of the line ST-407 LongFreshⓇForster Japan brand wine cellars April. LongFresh is a brand of wine cellars that has been the standard at first-class French restaurants and other eating and drinking establishments for more than a quarter century. The patented humidified circulation LongFresh system stores wine under optimal temperature and humidity conditions, permanently recreating the favorable environment of a wine cave without odor and is known as a breathing wine cellar.

The ST-407 Series that Sojitz Machinery will begin selling is the successor to the ST-405 Series. Production of the ST-405 Series in Switzerland was terminated, but there were strong demand for its revival. The ST-407 Series was developed specifically for manufacture in Japan.

As the top of the line LongFresh model currently available, the ST-407 Series maintains the key features of the 405 Series including the narrow depth of less than 60 centimeters and total capacity of approximately 120 bottles (based on standard Bordeaux-type regular bottles) stored in rows on individual shelves. The 407 Series keeps the durable feel of the 405 Series and is available with an unassuming brown wood grain exterior to match not only professional use and commercial applications such as eating and drinking establishments and small shops, but also household interiors for wine lovers.

In addition to the standard doors (ST-407, ST-407L) that block light for long-term maturation storage, single glass doors well-suited for the interior decoration of shops and homes (ST-407G, ST-407GL) and glass French doors that won’t block compact passageways when opening (ST-407FG II) are also available.

The interior shelves can be adjusted at any height on a 1.25 cm pitch, allowing for storage of some wider bottles. In addition, bottles can be arranged on angled shelves for high visibility display effects (no additional purchase required).

As a pioneer of wine cellar products, Sojitz Machinery Forster Japan Group will continue to undertake product development that meets the needs of wine lovers.
