Covers, covered
UK hospitality partners for over 50 years, we build equipment alongside chefs, operators, business owners and with the support of your procurement teams:
Keeping your food fresh
In a hot kitchen, your fridge needs to keep its contents cool regardless of where its positioned, next to the cookline or in the prep area.
Whether you’re focused on food safety, uncompromised quality or minimising food waste, tight temperature control is essential. Seesawing temperatures, hot spots and bacteria growth can all be avoided with the right fridge.
We optimise air distribution using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) design technology found in Formula 1 and aerospace. So, even when the shelves are full, it’s working efficiently, keeping your food fresher and safer for longer.
Foster Shield provides advanced temperature control and hygienic design, protecting from the dangers of unsafe food storage.
