The consequences of the pandemic have permanently changed the working environment in the restaurant and catering industries. The increasing popularity of take-away, delivery services and self-service options is placing new demands on restaurants, canteens and hotels. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find employees to work in this industry. On the one hand, process automation and standardization will become more important as a result; on the other, companies will be forced to create jobs that are as appealing as possible for applicants. Our FoodService division supports our customers not only by offering products for food preparation and presentation, but also by helping them to create sustainable working environments.
The FS division offers customers all products required for the preparation and presentation of meals and food. The product portfolio for the working world in the HoReCa sector (hotels, restaurants and catering) includes smaller products such as pots and pans as well as larger appliances such as an ice cube machine or a deep fryer. Customers include canteens in schools or universities, catering businesses in event locations such as sports venues, food retailers and small familyrun restaurants. The division focuses on North America and is active with three brands:
Hubert offers equipment for the catering and food retail sectors as well as items for sales promotion. Exemplary for the range are products for buffet equipment such as serving trays and presentation baskets.
Central sells products in the restaurant equipment sector. The range includes all the equipment needed to run small to medium-sized restaurants. Exemplary products are kitchen ovens and freezers.
