R e s t a u r a n t D a i l y N e w s S a t u r d a y, M a y 2 1 , 2 0 1 6 1 8 BREMA: ICE-MAKING SINCE 1985 Ice making is integral and critical to almost all operations in the hospitality industry, yet we rarely give much thought to it. "We need ice'' is often the extent of the thought process involved, and why not? All ice machines work under the same basic principles: evaporator, con- denser, compressor and throttle valve. Add some water, power and voilà! But not all ice machines are created equal. In fact not all ice is created equal. Founded in 1985 by the Maroli fam- ily, Brema Ice Makers has been making ice with constant care and attention to detail. Ice-making is its passion. Ice- making is also a commitment to its cus- tomers, who must always be provided with optimal, timely solutions for all their needs. Brema Ice Makers offers five sizes of ice cube as well as specialty ice, such as fast ice, ice finger, ice flakes, ice pebbles and cold flakes. Six types of ice are all catered to specific needs and environments. Brema designs and manufactures machines according to the highest stan- dards. It uses the best materials and the most advanced technologies. For example, the ice cube units use a horizontal evapo- rator which allows for the removal of 98 percent of solids present in the water, ensuring a crystal clear cube, always. Constant effort and research, in order to more fully understand and antic- ipate the developments of the market, is an integral part of the company's busi- ness model. The machines manufactured by Brema Ice Makers are extreme- ly reliable, functional and safe. Following IMQ (Instituto Italiano del Marchio di Qualità) conformity mark approval, the entire range of ice makers has received approval from all European and non-European certification bodies. International certifica- tion of Brema Ice Makers prod- ucts includes the UNI EN ISO 9001:2000 standard, NSF, ETL Listed Mark, ETL Sanitation Mark, GOST, KTL, IRAM, the Swiss Safety Mark, HACCP e C- TICK.and the CE mark. Its attestations also include BSI (OHSAS) 18001:1999 workplace and workforce safety certification. All models, from concept through to the finished product, are manufactured for efficiency. Efficiency criteria include energy- and water-saving per- formance ratings and ease of cleaning and maintenance. The manufacturing process is carefully monitored. Materials and components are selected in full conformity with project specifications. The later stages are monitored by means of a computerized system that records the results and frequency of all intermediate machine tests. The data is included in the control document accom- panying the machine right up to the final inspection certification stage. Brema Ice Makers SPA, a family run business, is distributed by Eurodib Inc, another family run business in North America.

The company offers an array of artisanal ovens in both wood-burning and gas- fired models in a range of sizes to fit into commercial and residential kitchens. "We have one of the most innovative products on the market. Our multifunc- tional ovens are great for more than just pizza," says National Sales Manager Jeff Calwell. "And it's a versatile product in terms of what we can do for the client. We can build custom sizes with varying options, including the aesthetics of the oven. Our ovens are showpieces — they're meant to be seen." The feature packed Marra Forni Rotator exemplifies a hunger for innova- tion. The Rotator offers high perform- ance, forward and reverse deck function- alities, single or dual burner availability, customizable one-, two- or three-cycle rotations, variable rotation speed from 15 seconds to 155 seconds, auto on/off fea- ture and a brilliant touchscreen to control all aspects of your oven. The Rotator is built in the United States from materials imported from Italy for the most effective and efficient product in the marketplace. Its deck is made from authentic Italian refractory brick and built brick by brick to increase durability and allow for better heat retention. Marra Forni ovens are built brick by brick in the company's Maryland facility, where a 24,000 square foot warehouse includes a full test kitchen where prospective customers can try out the oven for themselves as well as shop for a full complementary range of equipment that includes refrigerated tables, special- ty mixers, specialty slicers, curing cabi- nets and, of course, pizza tools. "It's the whole Marra Forni experience," says Francesco Marra, the company's Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "Whenever you come to our Marra Forni warehouse, you have an experience of our company, which exists to pro- vide a great experience, great ovens and to make sure our customers are successful." "Our Rotator deck oven is an inno- vation in the oven, and it allows you to customize the rotation, so that by the time it does one rotation, the pizza is ready — you never have to touch it," he adds. "We are the first company in the U.S. to make touchscreen ovens with a back that rotates, which allows you to make 250 pizzas in an hour with consis- tent high quality and great execution."

TABLE DECOR INTERNATIONAL'S UPSCALE TABLE LIGHTING CREATES MEMORABLE SETTING The quality of the table setting you offer your customer reveals a lot about the quality of a restaurant, banquet or event space. Since 1984, Table Decor International has been creating upscale table lighting and tabletop accessory items for many well known names in the hospitality industry, from national chain operations to renowned resorts and clubs, to smaller individual restaurants. The products give you a way to accent not only just the table, but the entire dining room with ele- gant, romantic lighting. The shaded lamps are handsewn and assembled in Atlanta, out of flame-retar- dant materials, so they can all be used with real candles and liquid fuel cells, as well as popular rechargeable battery can- dle systems. The lamp bases are nicely weighted with many choices of finishes; there are 11 different shade shapes, hun- dreds of fabrics and yet still there are other custom options available. "We are not a pull and pack operation; we don't just pull a finished import- ed product off a shelf and ship it," says Owner Lynn Wells. "Each lamp is designed and assembled to order, yet within a short time frame and affordable price. Our customers are able to get a design that accents their particu- lar decor, truly made for them. We are able to guide them with base and shade options, and to offer quantity pricing that makes the products affordable for all types of operations. Maybe that is why so many of our customers are long- term, as they go through re-models or open new properties they come back to us for their newer products and designs. We also tend to keep replacement parts for many years, so they can replenish their stock on an ongoing basis." Besides shaded lamps, Table Decor offers non-shaded votive candleholders, taller candelabra pieces for event and wedding centerpieces, unique serving pieces, salt and peppers, vases and sugar packet holders.
