Alto Shaam

Founded in Wisconsin in 1955 by Jerry Maahs, Alto-Shaam is a global foodservice equipment manufacturer renowned for its pioneering cooking technologies and products.

For more than 70 years, Alto-Shaam has continued to develop new and innovative solutions that are specifically designed to create greater efficiencies for chefs and kitchen operators, providing equipment to more than 90 countries across the world.

A true pioneer in every sense of the word, Alto-Shaam invented the original Cook & Hold oven featuring its patented Halo Heat technology, creating a new category in the industry. It also introduced the multi-cook oven category to the industry with the launch of its Vector oven series. Thanks to its patented Structured Air Technology, Alto-Shaam's multi-cook oven range, which also includes its award-winning Converge ovens, can cook multiple food items in the same oven at the same time at their ideal cook settings without any flavour transfer.

Alto-Shaam's leading product portfolio of foodservice equipment solutions also includes combi ovens, smoker ovens, rotisseries, chillers, heated holding cabinets and drawer warmers, food display cases, ventless solutions and more. Its products are highly regarded and respected for their quality, with applications across various foodservice settings worldwide, from restaurants and retail operations to schools and healthcare facilities.

In June 2025, Alto-Shaam opened a new UK training kitchen and demonstration facility in Milton Keynes to support customers and dealer partners with hands-on equipment demonstrations and chef-led training sessions, as well as a space to host regular live and interactive ‘A Taste of Alto-Shaam' events. Its expert UK team is led by Commercial Manager, James Olbort, and Head of Culinary, Billy Eatenton.
