Hussmann will launch a range of commercial rice cookers in June.

Hussmann Australia business manager for Panasonic Food Services, Andrew Ross said, “It’s a hugely exciting time for the hospitality industry, with a number of new developments and refurbishment projects due to be completed within the next 12 months.

“We are confident our reliable and quality solutions will support and advance the operations of the thousands of people working in commercial kitchens. The Panasonic brand is synonymous with quality and innovation and we have ensured our product range will become a feature of commercial kitchens across the country.

“Our customer-first approach will be at the core of our offering, with after-sales service being a major focus and something that is, unfortunately, often overlooked within our industry.”

To celebrate the launch of its Panasonic Commercial Food Services lineup in Australia, Hussmann is offering a bonus $100 incentive to customers purchasing products in the new commercial refrigerator range.

Hussmann will display its new Panasonic commercial refrigerator and microwave range at the Fine Foods Fair at ICC Sydney in September.
