The Company
We are a small family run company that has been trading as Culinary Innovations since 2004 when we started out selling domestic vacuum sealers from an Italian company called Orved SpA. The company has grown over the years and developed a wide range of products and markets to include commercial scale vacuum packers for the professional chefs market as well as larger capital equipment for the Food Processing Industry. The company has expanded its business offering to include a range of other chef based products, especially water bath cooking equipment from FusionChef™ by Julabo, induction hobs from FSE Signature and associated consumables and accessories related to vacuum packing. The company is particularly committed to offering a “one-stop-shop” to professional chefs focussed on Sous Vide cooking trends and provides tactile training courses and chef support on this important culinary innovation. On top of this we offer an assortment of other chef based products like professional cutting boards from Technocater and kitchen shelving and gastronorm containers from BlueFish Foodservice Solutions.
A second strand to the business is an array of tray sealing and food presentation solutions from Orved SpA and the Swedish owned company Duni AB. Duni provide a one-stop-shop for takeaway containers, plastic food trays, boxes, films and sealing machines for the catering, artisan food processing, independent retail and fine food take away markets. The products are manufactured all over Europe and brought together on this website. Stock for most of these products are held at Duni’s UK subsidiary or in European warehouses and shipped direct to our customers from receipt of order. Other suppliers such as Mister Blister and the French based Guillin Group supplement our range of food presentation solutions.
Our Customers
We supply a wide range of customers from fine dining restaurants, hotels, caterers, food processors, artisan producers, fine food shops, delicatessens and farm shops through to home consumers. We also sell to many non-food based customers who use vacuum packing machines in such diverse applications as medical research, electronics, historical record keeping and pharmaceuticals. We are more than happy to sell our range of equipment, services and consumables to well-established corporate companies like Waitrose and Marks & Spencers, to top chefs like Pierre Koffman (pictured below with other guests at one of our Sous Vide Cooking Courses) to home deliveries on the door step or to a work addresss.
We recognise that our website will appeal mostly to the catering, retail and artisan production trades and have developed it to offer products of interest to all types of chefs and people mostly associated with handling food on a day to day basis. Please let us know your individual requirements. We are also happy to provide demonstrations, sampling or simply more information subject to availability. We want to have interaction with you our customer and hope you will respond by sending us your feedback positively and constructively.
