Production

Maria Jose Chaomanager of the company, pointed out that they currently manufacture about 30 pieces of equipment per month, both for restaurants, hotels, semi-fixed positions and hospitals, among others.
“The designs we work on are personalized, none of them are the same, all the equipment we manufacture is unique.”
The first equipment they manufactured was for butcher shops and creameries, a couple of years later they had already specialized in the manufacture of equipment for restaurants, and then they began to produce hospital equipment.

Cost
María José pointed out that the main impact on the development of the business has been the increase in steel pricealthough he commented that in the last year it has remained stable.
“Usually it increased little, say 5% annually. With the Covid pandemic it rose, but it got more out of control with the war in Ukraine, there it did go up about 20% or 25%.”
Expansion
They took the first step towards expansion in 2017, with the installation of a store, in which in addition to offering the equipment they manufacture, they also sell imported items from the Flavor Kitchen and Buffetware brands.
They initially stocked the store with a sum of 20,000 pesos, and now they have a stock of more than 350 imported products, in addition to the equipment they manufacture.
