EuroShop and INTERNORGA

A successful future with Welbilt

Finally back to full strength and in its usual place in the calendar: INTERNORGA 2023 (10-14 March) was a true family reunion for the hotel industry - and Welbilt was right in the middle with its leading technologies and innovative solutions for the Horeca sector.

The motto of this year's INTERNORGA - "All together" - could not have been more appropriate: around 80,000 professionals from the hotel, gastronomy and bakery/confectionery sectors met at the Hamburg exhibition halls. 1,100 exhibiting companies presented the top trends in the industry. The hotel and catering industry is continuously advancing - digitization, plant-based foods, sustainability, and automation are just some of the most prominent topics.

Welbilt presented a range of products that contribute to providing a holistic solution for many of today's challenges in the gastronomy sector. The Convotherm combi ovens for cooking and baking, the Delfield blast chillers for cooling and shock freezing, and the Merrychef conneX® high-speed ovens for fast food processing form a coordinated triad of appliances.

Premium combi ovens for future-oriented kitchens

Live cooking shows with the Convotherm maxx pro and the Convotherm maxx demonstrated how processes in the professional kitchen can be optimized through automated cooking and optical recognition, based on artificial intelligence.

At INTERNORGA, the complete Convotherm maxx pro family was also shown for the first time. The new Convotherm maxx pro floor-standing model was premiered to visitors. The newest member of the maxx pro family is designed for the largest volumes and piqued the curiosity of trade visitors with its built-in appliance status floor lighting: a colored, highly visible indicator light that shows the current operating status. But that was just the most obvious of many other innovations of this 20-shelf unit.

Merrychef and mini - perfect snack companions

The Convotherm mini, the 51.5 cm wide compact all-rounder, was also on display. In combination with the Merrychef conneX® high-speed oven, it is ideal for concepts where space is limited and time is pressing. The Merrychef conneX® and the Convotherm mini are the perfect companions for modern delivery and takeout concepts, all with WiFi connectivity.

Both the conneX®12 and the conneX®16, available as standard or high-performance versions, were used in the live cooking shows. Both allow for the preparation of convenience snacks as well as complete meals. The new panini press accessory for the conneX® family proved to be a big hit, allowing visitors to taste sandwiches and steaks with perfect grill marks directly from the oven and without any additional equipment.

EuroShop: Solutions for the Retail World

Welbilt has already  recentlyshowcased its gastronomy concepts for the retail world at the EuroShop trade fair in Düsseldorf (28 February to 2 March). On 120 square meters, the international trade audience experienced innovative solutions and services that make retail business - whether supermarkets, petrol stations, butchers or bakeries - more efficient and tailored precisely to the current requirements of the market.

From the intelligent ConvoSense technology that enables AI-automated cooking and baking, to the Multiplex Fresh Blender®, which prepares natural and fresh smoothies, shakes, and cold drinks in just a few seconds at the touch of a button, to the high-speed oven Merrychef conneX® for more speed and variety in daily snack business. The message to trade show visitors was clear: efficiency and automation are the future!

"Welbilt has been developing the right products and solutions for all sectors of the foodservice industry and retail market for over nine decades, always tailored to current challenges. We have shown a selection of the latest technologies and innovations at the INTERNORGA and EuroShop trade shows, supporting the foodservice industry as well as the retail industry on the path to a successful future," says Hans-Werner Schmidt, Vice President, Central & Eastern Europe and Managing Director of Welbilt Deutschland GmbH.
