From Resort Buffets to Gelato Labs – What We’ve Learned About Frozen Desserts
In Dubai, a hotel chef told us: “Our gelato melts before the guest even reaches the table.” We’ve seen similar in Nairobi catering hubs and Warsaw patisseries. Ice cream in commercial kitchens isn’t just about freezing — it’s about texture, overrun, and display consistency. In industrial bakery and dessert equipment projects, the wrong freezer setup means waste, guest complaints, and energy bills that don’t add up.
That’s why we provide European-sourced ice cream machines selected from Italy and other trusted EU brands. Instead of only manufacturing locally, we source the most suitable batch freezers, soft-serve dispensers, and frozen yogurt machines, matching each project’s budget and consultant specifications. Our turnkey project contractor role ensures these units are BOQ-ready, CAD-integrated, and seamlessly installed.
