Quality, innovation and sustainability have long been the watchwords of all out-of-home. But one of the most striking examples is the Bakery, Pasta and Pizza sector, committed to offering an increasingly unique experience for products and services. And it is the companies themselves that testify to this at Host 2023, at fieramilano in Rho from Friday 13 to Tuesday 17 October.

Between Innovation and Responsibility

An attitude that concerns companies all over the world, as confirmed by Bralyx, featured in the collective stand of the Brazilian association of machinery manufacturers Abiepan: “At Host 2023 we will bring an innovative fryer that combines compact dimensions with the reduction of smoke and odors, in addition to new technologies for forming and encapsulating”.

The packaging world also looks at eco-friendly solutions. “Our packs have always followed the logic of the 3 Rs: Reuse, Recycle, Reduce”, explains Rita Esposito, Customer Service Manager at Inpact. “Even in food to go, more and more product protection is combined with respect for the environment”.

Adds Giancarlo Vardelli, Commercial Manager of Italgi: “The focus is on premium proposals that combine innovation, taste and quality. Even pasta enters fast food and we are witnessing the growth of food to go and delivery formats not only in Italy, but also abroad”.

From Raw Materials to Technology

The momentum of innovation also involves raw materials, with attention to product specificity: “Molino Quaglia invented the first flour for panettone in the world in 1998, which still boasts stability and high resistance to leavening thanks to the milling process”, says Elena Fiorotto, Social Marketing Account.

Flours and ovens too form a perfect combination: “We will present a function that will allow you to keep costs under control in a simple and precise way thanks to a power reading algorithm, accessible directly from the electronic board of the oven or in our cloud electrical consumption, also in graphic form”, underlines Gaia Vizzini, Export Department of Cuppone.

From hot to cold, we talk more and more about ‘energy’: “We will present counters, islands and refrigerators in the best energy efficiency classes, including a model with a refrigerated pouch dedicated to serving products already ready for consumption”, concludes Massimiliano Bonin, Sales Manager Italy of Oscartielle, which provides refrigeration systems for all professional catering.

Balery, Pasta & Pizza with Food Service Equipment is just one example of cross-sector innovation present at Host 2023.
