Find out what we do for the catering equipment sector

Mixed metals is now a trend in catering interior design: there are multiple possibilities for matching shades and the luminous effect of metals will certainly play an increasing role in functional and furnishing projects.

In addition to this trend towards the modularity of furnishings, a key factor will be the innovation by manufacturers to propose new self-cleaning or antibacterial materials where metal, the hygienic material par excellence, will play a leading role because it is versatile and does not require special cleaning or maintenance.

This sector is characterised by high productivity, often by a wide range of components in small volume batches (various shapes, designs and many custom parts).

Typical pieces are small to medium thickness and are mainly made of stainless steel and other materials that comply with regulations on the treatment, conservation and sale of food.

The ability to process materials with high aesthetic requirements (e.g. pre-painted stainless steel and super mirror) is another important prerequisite, alongside the ability to process even larger sheets.

In addition, this sector is characterised by a growing demand for highly automated material flow management systems.
