The Equipment Suppliers
Principal and Supplementary suppliers
Principle Suppliers in Australia
Australia has a thriving catering equipment market, with a mix of domestic manufacturers and international importers supplying a wide range of products. There are so many that it can get exhaustive and many equipment brands actually fall within some of the major players.
For example, Moffat Australia have a line up of 42 brands within their portfolio. Such iconic brands like; waldorf, Blue Seal, Turbofan and Convotherm. One good reason to have so many brands and types of equipment is to be able to fit out a full kitchen. This makes it very appealing to Kitchen Consultants who will nominate their brands for large fit outs and tenders. This means you only have to deal with one manufacturer/distributor rather than many to co ordinate and this works. This also works well when warrant is required as all the equipment is registered to that supplier.
