SkyLine gained the SMART Label award 2019

Post date October 21, 2019

Paris, France · 21 October 2019 · SkyLine gained the SMART Label award 2019

The SMART Label is promoted by HOST – Fiera Milano in collaboration with POLI.design and awards innovation in the hospitality industry. SMART Label award rewards products, services and projects that stand out for distinctive features in terms of functionality, technology, environmental sustainability, and ethical or social implications.

“Innovation is something that makes the life of a client easier, more productive and more profitable. It means putting people – those who will actually be using those solutions in the end – at the centre of the development of products and processes. To achieve this, we use hi-tech solutions and A.I. algorithms,” explains Alberto Pezzutto, head of the Cook and Chill Category at Electrolux Professional, describing how innovative SkyLine appliances are.

“Our ovens and blast chillers work in a similar way, providing an integrated system that is unique on the market. The two appliances can also communicate with one another, which cuts preparation times, offering the very highest level of food safety and reducing errors and consumption to a minimum,” continues Pezzutto. Then, he specifies “Restaurateurs appreciate their ease of use and multi-functionality (a blast chiller can also work as a leavening compartment, a thawing device and a yogurt maker), and the fact that several appliances can be combined, which further simplifies things because shared accessories are made available.”

Based on the combination of smart technology and human-centered design, SkyLine is born to set a new bar in the Cook&Chill, and in the overall professional kitchen business. SkyDuo allows the oven and the blast chiller to be synchronized and communicate with each other, making the work-life in the kitchen leaner, always getting top food quality with the highest productivity.

The SkyLine range, with the new combi ovens and blast chillers, will be the flagship for all the chef live demos on Electrolux Professional booth at Host Milano 2019, where you will be introduced to the new Electrolux Professional brand as the OnE trusted partner for Food, Beverage and Laundry solutions.

Worldchefs announces Extended Partnership with Electrolux Professional

Post author By Anand
Post date March 9, 2017

March 2017 – Electrolux Professional has announced the renewal of its partnership with Worldchefs, extending the number of countries that will benefit from a global programme of activity throughout 2017.

The “Art & Science Come Together” partnership aims to combine the culinary creativity of professional chefs with the specialized knowledge and technology within the leading manufacturer’s commercial cooking solutions – helping kitchens across the globe to develop more streamlined and sustainable cooking processes.

As part of the agreement, Electrolux Professional will be holding a series of chef2chef seminars at its worldwide Centers of Excellence in the UAE-Dubai, Turkey, Sweden, Singapore, the US, South Africa and Japan. Focused around the manufacturer’s unique Cook&Chill solution, these seminars will demonstrate how chefs can use the integrated system to reduce waste, ensure food safety and optimize working processes to reduce stress within the kitchen environment.

This follows Electrolux Professional’s most recent Taste the Stress campaign, a thought-provoking piece of research suggesting that whilst stress in a professional kitchen is a norm, customers are increasingly willing to buy from a partner that is committed to ecological, economical and social sustainability to make their work-lives easier and more profitable. A social experiment conducted by Electrolux Professional demonstrated that great food can be created through a leaner, healthier and more sustainable and more profitable work-life in the kitchen, with new technologies able to help streamline kitchen processes, reduce stress, and create more sustainable environments and businesses.

In addition to its chef2chef expert seminars, Electrolux Professional will also be holding a programme of local collaborations and networking sessions throughout China, Australia, Belgium and the Balkans – with a view to further widening the partnership’s activity in 2018.

Thomas Gugler, President of Worldchefs, commented: “We are very pleased to continue and build on this partnership between Electrolux Professional and Worldchefs, which has helped us to share and expand culinary technology knowledge to our Worldchefs members. The positive feedback from all sides has been very encouraging, and continuing this partnership will further create a win-win situation”

Alberto Zanata, President of Electrolux Professional added: “We all know that a certain amount of stress is part of working in a professional kitchen, but manufacturers are working all the time to take as much strain as they can away from chefs. Our partnership with Worldchefs gives us the perfect platform to do just that – showing how chefs can marry their creativity with leading technology to make their lives easier and more profitable through leaner, more efficient kitchen processes.”
