Bellevue- whole wheat flour
Expert Gold GEM 280F is a wheat flour rich in fiber.

Winners of the “I sell” category
OCF- ethereal display cabinet
When designing Perspective, OCF had a clear objective: to create an almost invisible display cabinet to make the products stand out. It combines perfectly with any shop and uses a soft light patented by OCF that reduces shadows and does not transmit heat to products.
OCF-online display cabinet maintenance
OCF display cabinets can be controlled from a smartphone thanks to the Serenity Connect system. The professional will no longer have to worry about the waste of products, if the vents are blocked, or if the temperature of the counters has increased. This system sends periodic notifications so that action is taken as soon as possible.
Eralux-glass lids that lift up
Euralux has single or double glazed glass tops that lift up, with an open/close smooth brake system for traditional or self-service.
This system, with no aluminum frame, is very useful for conserving cold and saving energy. The opening angle is limited to 70 degrees, which allows you to use it freely without knocks.
