Bertazzoni’s new cooker with induction hob and integrated hood

Bertazzoni presented at EuroCucina 2022 its new freestanding cooker with induction hob and integrated hood. This product integrates three appliances in one: the highest performance of the 90 cm freestanding cookers of the Professional Series are enriched by an induction hob with a premium integrated hood. In particular, a dedicated knob makes the control of the hood functional: by setting the hood in the Automatic position, the extraction power will be automatically set according to the number and the power of the induction zones used. The integrated hood is equipped with 9 manual power levels, with the addition of the Boost function. Besides, the integrated hood grid, made in black-painted aluminum, includes the iconic Bertazzoni brass medal for a perfect matching with other brand products. Lightweight and ergonomic, it provides easy access to main filters located just below it: grease filter that can be periodically washed in the dishwasher, long lasting carbon filter effective against odors and smoke, to be restored every 3 months in the oven. The main internal air ducting system is made of metal, to perfectly resist at high temperatures near the oven cavity. While two different air outlet systems are available, to meet every installation need.

Falmec “Manifesto” at EuroCucina

Passion, freedom, comfort, wellbeing, conviviality and functionality: these are the key elements of the Falmec “Manifesto” at the 23rd edition of EuroCucina/FTK 2022. The company is showing its solutions in a booth divided into different thematic areas, built around the philosophy of Falmec’s keywords. Passion is also deep relationship with the territory: the company has chosen to localize the entire production in the Vittorio Veneto headquarters (Italy, in the “inox valley”) and collaborates with a local network of highly specialized suppliers who transfer their knowledge in the quality of the products. Freedom means design freedom to build-up and installation. The new Elements collection is the expression of this free approach with its systems Monolith, Shelf and Air Wall, where the suction element becomes part of the modular and multifunction architecture. With Elements, the traditional concept of the hood disappears, leaving the extraction function to totally integrate with the kitchen project. As regards to the comfort, Falmec proposes the NRS technology: thanks to in-depth studies and important partnerships with specialised laboratories in fluid dynamics, NRS reduces the noise of the hood by up to -86% of sound power. Besides, well-being means better air quality: E.ion System technology with the active ions, Circle.Tech with its filtering system, and the recent Multi-Air, with its ultra-compact body, best express the desire to create well-being spaces within the kitchen. In addition, the company proposes its integrated cooking systems: these products, that combine extraction with cooking thanks to a unique body totally placed at the top, have now been adapted for island kitchens, expression of sociality and sharing. Finally, Falmec products are realized balancing refined design, ergonomics and high level performances.

SEB Investment

Groupe SEB has announced more than €5 million in investment in 2022 to support the brand’s growth in the French and international markets, most of it earmarked for the plant’s extension, as Krampouz is firmly anchored in its region and is committed to French craftsmanship and manufacturing. Revenue was up 32% year-on-year, buoyed by robust growth in the domestic and export markets, making it imperative to expand the site in Brittany. The investment aims to increase the plant’s production capacity for all Krampouz cooking appliances, for both the professional and home markets.

The expanded area will not only create room for new machines and an updated industrial tool, but also allows to grow the research and testing lab. A key component of the project, the site will also be home to new facilities designed with the wellbeing of staff in mind. The current site area will increase by almost 50% to 10,000 sq m.
