Food Magic Daily Tuesday, June 4, 2019 1 8 Blendtec: Quality Can't Be Outsourced What does it mean to be an American company?

Blendtec takes pride in providing jobs in its hometown of Orem, Utah, and Blendtec's employees from engineers to manufacturing to marketing and cus- tomer service all take pride in being a part of the world's most advanced blender. Keeping everything under one roof is the best way to meet the compa- ny's stringent quality standards and exceed its customers' expectations. Blendtec does all it can in-house, and the few things that it doesn't do, it keeps as close to home as possible! Design Blendtec's talented team of industrial designers and engineers work together to form cutting-edge designs that have the advanced features its customers want in their kitchens. Engineering Blendtec is proud of its engineers. Thanks to them, Blendtec has pioneered the most advanced blending technology available. Their passion for quality and innovation can be seen in each design they bring to life.

Glastender Introduces Modular Beverage Stations Glastender, Inc., headquartered in Saginaw, Michigan, has expanded its product offerings into the kitchen fabri- cation market with its new Modular Beverage Stations concept. Modular Beverage Stations are con- figured and manufactured to customer- specific requirements. A complete lineup is designed by selecting from the top options and then specifying the module types and sizes to mount below the top. Stations ship complete in lengths up to 144 inches. "With our Modular Beverage Stations concept and our online configu- rator, we have created something new for the foodservice industry," stated Todd Hall, President of Glastender. "We have taken the hassle out of making a custom beverage station lineup. You no longer need to settle for standard or wait around to get a response from a custom fabrica- tor. Go to mbs.glastender.com and use our configurator to create and price your own custom station in minutes." The top options are flexible to meet various customer requirements. The top overhang may be 1/4, 1 or 2 inches. The three edge and nose profiles include flat, marine or rounded. The three depths available include 24, 30 and 36 inches. The top is available with various back and side splash configurations and also with an integrally welded drip trough with removable perforated insert in lengths from 12 to 36 inches. Incredible design flexibility is achieved through the 11 differ- ent module types that are available to mount below the top. The modules are named for the type of cabinet they are or the role they serve in the lineup. As the name implies, adjustable shelf, fixed shelf and open storage mod- ules have either an adjustable shelf, a fixed shelf or open cabinet storage. Drawer modules are available with one, two or four drawers. Drop-in modules are specifically intended to house various drop-in units and sink modules are specifically designed to house the option- al sink bowls that are integrally welded into the top. An empty space module provides space for a slide-in unit, like a trash can or undercounter refrigerator, and an end wall module is avail- able to finish off the end if the empty space is located at the end of a lineup. Glass rack mod- ules include rack slides for installations where glass rack storage is required, while the roll-out shelf mod- ule includes two roll-out shelves to pro- vide easier access to storage. Lastly, an urn stand module provides a special low- ered work surface area for installations where larger tea urns are being used. Where applicable, the front of a module may include doors or an apron or a combination of both, which are also available with louvers to allow air flow as necessary. In addition to their incredible design flexibility, Modular Beverage Stations are all heavy-gauge, stainless steel con- struction to ensure quality and durability.
