Oñati, Guipúzcoa, 23 April 2012. Fagor Industrial, the leading Spanish company that provides total solutions for the hotel, collective catering and laundry sector, will sponsor the 18th National Congress of Signature Cuisine, organised by the restaurant Zaldiarán and held in Vitoria-Gasteiz from 23 to 26 April.

Fagor Industrial will participate in the Congress through its distributor in Vitoria, Etxelan Araba, and provide all of the equipment the invited guests will need for their live demonstrations. The equipment includes the next generation Symphony kitchen used by Fagor Industrial in the demo room at its central headquarters in Oñati, containing induction plates, grills, burners, fryers and a bain-marie. It will also supply a Visual Plus VPE 101 oven, an ATM 101 cooling unit, and an AST 701 refrigerated cabinet. 

Chefs Martín Berasategui, Josean Martínez Alija, Nacho Manzano, Paco Morales, Nacho Cuevas, Joan Roca, Iñaki Rodaballo, Josean Merino, Jordi Roca, Senén González and Rafael García Santos will use the equipment provided by Fagor Industrial in their live demonstrations, which will take place at the Europa Congress Palace on 24 and 26 April. Each presentation will last for 45 minutes and will involve a practical demonstration of the subject under discussion. All of the equipment supplied will therefore be tested to the limits of its capacity, resistance and versatility.

"At Etxelan Araba we have participated in previous Congresses and are fully aware of the organizers' requirements", explains Iban Hierro, manager of Etxelan Araba. "They need modern and complete next generation equipment that is 100% reliable because it needs to work in live show conditions. It also needs to be able to cook for more than one hundred people, the average number of visitors to a session. We don't simply provide a kitchen; we provide professional equipment at the same level as these chefs use in their own restaurants.
