Pujadas commercial cookware, kitchen utensils and buffet display products
Pujadas is one of Spain’s leading manufacturers of commercial cookware, kitchen utensils and buffet display products, boasting a reputation for innovative ideas appealing directly to chefs. Now the company has reached agreement with Foodservice Equipment Marketing (FEM) to launch the range in the UK.
Pujadas is based near Barcelona and has been manufacturing catering products since 1921. In 2015 it was acquired by the Vollrath Company, a longstanding supplier of FEM. “Pujadas is a quality manufacturer with a range of products that complements our existing portfolio,” says FEM sales director Jim Doherty. “We’re delighted to welcome the brand to the FEM family and look forward to presenting it to our distributors and their customers.”
Pujadas export manager Joaquin Pons says, “FEM is a natural fit for us, not only because of the established Vollrath connection, but also their customer support, close relationship with distributors and proactive approach to marketing catering products.”
As buyers would expect, the brand includes a wide variety of both kitchen and front of house essentials. There are also some exceptional lines, ranging from stylish display concepts to quality examples of products specifically designed for Spanish cuisine, such as paella cookware. Jim expects one of the ‘hero’ lines to be the Inox-Pro range of quality professional cookware, which is made using 18/10 stainless steel and is induction ready.
The partnership between Pujadas and FEM is now in operation, with stock arriving in the company’s East Kilbride warehouse by early November. FEM is also producing new catalogues covering the full range of products that will be available in the UK.
