Hotelympia 2018 equipment products

We take a look at the brightest new products and special events planned for this year's Hotelympia show.

CESA

The Catering Equipment Suppliers Association (CESA) will be based within the Professional Kitchen Show at Hotelympia 2018.

John Whitehouse, vice-chair of CESA and chair of the association's exhibition liaison committee, explained: "The branding better reflects the dynamism and innovation of the equipment sector, and building our sector's profile will ensure that equipment is at the forefront of visitors' minds as they come to the show."

CESA will also launch an app, available to download from its website, to make navigating the show easier for visitors by highlighting relevant stands and suppliers. It will offer a Connectivity Trail, which will allow visitors to go straight to companies that offer ‘connected' equipment, and a new Energy-Saving Equipment Guide, with a list of ‘green' appliances.

Hubbard Systems has signed up to take its biggest ever stand at Hotelympia and will use it to launch its new products from both Scotsman and Comenda.

Stand 2250

The new Carpigiani 161 portfolio features the company's smallest soft-serve machine, measuring 300mm x 630mm x 850mm, making it ideal for cafés, coffee shops, small restaurants and kiosks. The 161 also uses air-cooled technology with a removable air filter, channelling hot air out the top and so allowing the unit
to be positioned directly next to another appliance.
