Trends, Innovations, Directions. We Visited Host Milano 2021 – A Unique World-Class Trade Fair
Host Milano is the largest and most advanced international trade fair dedicated to the hospitality industry, bringing together leading manufacturers and suppliers of professional catering equipment from around the world. The fair is an excellent opportunity to meet our long-standing business partners, discover the latest innovations and look towards the future through trends, advanced technology and innovation. That is why we were excited to visit once again this year.
Professional Dishwashing Machines
Once again, we were able to confirm that Meiko, our long-standing partner, is a leading name in the field of professional dishwashing. Its position has been strengthened through decades of experience and continuous development:
- High-quality materials: Meiko uses only high-quality materials in the production of its dishwashing machines. The machines are made almost entirely of stainless steel, including the pipes, housing, wash arms and other components. This contributes to a longer service life.
- Advanced water treatment: Particular attention is paid to water quality and its preparation for the washing process. In addition to conventional water softening, Meiko has developed a second-generation reverse osmosis system that delivers outstanding washing results.
- Environmental responsibility: Meiko is committed to sustainable solutions and continuously develops technologies and innovations that reduce water and energy consumption while maintaining high washing performance.
At the fair, Meiko presented advanced rack solutions and new types of dishwashing machines that were scheduled to become available in 2022.
Meiko’s bottle washing system also impressed the jury of the Smart Label Awards, which recognize the most innovative solutions in their respective fields. Meiko’s bottle washing system was the only solution from our industry to be included among the award winners.
The Best Lainox Combi Oven Ever
At the Lainox exhibition stand, we had the opportunity to see the latest Naboo Boosted combi oven in person – even more powerful, compact and advanced than its predecessor. We can confidently say that it is one of the most advanced combi ovens in its segment.
Here are some of the key improvements of the Naboo Boosted:
- up to 20% more power compared to previous models
- up to 50% more powerful dehumidification system
- preheating capability of up to 320°C
- up to 16% lower energy consumption than previous models, thanks to advanced technology that adjusts energy consumption according to the oven load
- a new automatic washing system. This innovative steam-cleaning system reduces detergent consumption by up to 30%
- a system that enables remote monitoring of water, energy and detergent consumption
- up to 15% better use of space in the kitchen
Lainox has designed the Naboo Boosted to a high level of detail. It incorporates high-quality components that have undergone and exceeded extensive stress testing. The Naboo Boosted combi oven is built to last.
Slovenian Companies on the Global Market
We visited our Slovenian business partners Gazi, Fines and Alpfrigo, who were presenting their own high-quality products to an international audience. We can be proud that Slovenia is home to companies that rank among the leading names in the global hospitality industry.
The New Pacojet 2+ Has Arrived
As the official sales and service representative, we had the opportunity to see the latest Pacojet 2+ model. With its presentation, the manufacturer wanted to demonstrate that Pacojet is suitable for every professional kitchen and that its use can contribute to higher food quality as well as savings in time and service organization.

Where Are Trends and Innovations Heading?
Waste Management
Legislation concerning waste management is constantly changing. At the fair, we were looking for and discovering waste-management solutions for larger users, as dehydration systems will soon no longer be an appropriate solution in many applications.
Meiko presented its Green concept for the management of organic waste. It is certainly an advanced solution for the future, which we will explore in more detail in one of our upcoming posts.
Cloud-Based Systems
It comes as no surprise that many companies are investing significant amounts of effort, time and money into the development of cloud-based systems that allow their products to be monitored and controlled remotely. This brings numerous benefits to both users and manufacturers, including greater transparency, improved energy efficiency, easier use and the ability to identify and address potential issues preventively.
New Kitchen Equipment
Among the innovations presented, we would certainly highlight the cooking kettle with an agitator, which is set to become a common feature in professional kitchens. A kettle with an agitator can contribute to higher food quality while taking over many tasks previously performed by kitchen staff. This saves valuable time that employees can devote to other important tasks in the kitchen.
We were impressed.
To put it simply: our visit to the fair has already delivered its first results. Expanding our knowledge and staying up to date with the latest developments will certainly benefit our customers.
