Kromo

Kromo has functioned as a premier global authority in professional warewashing and industrial dishwashing systems since its founding in 1998 in Italy. Headquartered in Cernusco sul Naviglio (Milan) with its primary high-capacity production facility located in Castelfranco Veneto (Treviso), the brand has grown into an international benchmark for automated hygiene. Now a strategic brand within the Ali Group, Kromo serves as a critical infrastructure provider for high-volume foodservice operations, including international hotel chains, hospitals, and large-scale catering facilities across more than 120 countries, defining itself through the "Your Smart Wash" philosophy—a commitment to integrating advanced connectivity with sustainable cleaning performance.

The brand’s technical identity is anchored in industrial durability and fluid dynamics optimization. A primary engineering hallmark is the heavy-duty, double-walled AISI 304 stainless steel structure, which provides superior thermal and acoustic insulation, reducing heat loss by up to 25% compared to single-skin alternatives. Unlike conventional systems, Kromo utilizes specialized split wash and rinse arms designed with high-precision nozzles that ensure 360 degree coverage while preventing cross-contamination between cycles. This focus on "Clean-Zone" engineering is verified by multiple international certifications, ensuring that even the most complex kitchenware—from delicate crystal to heavily soiled GN pans—is sanitized to pharmaceutical-grade standards.

Innovation remains a central pillar of the company’s portfolio through its focus on resource conservation and Industry 4.0 integration. Key technical pillars include the QK "Green" Series technology, which utilizes a reinforced triple-rinse system to achieve a 35% reduction in water and chemical consumption. By 2026, the brand has fully implemented the Kromo Connectivity App, a remote interaction system that allows operators to monitor real-time temperatures, energy usage, and chemical dosage from any mobile device. This technological layer ensures that the wash cycle is not only efficient but also fully transparent, providing a digital audit trail for HACCP compliance and preventative maintenance.

The product portfolio is strategically categorized by the "scale of the sanitize":

• AQUA & DUPLA Series (Undercounter): High-performance glass and dishwashers featuring "Soft Start" pumps to protect fragile crockery, ideal for bars and boutique restaurants.
• HOOD Series (70 to 140 Premium): Ergonomic pass-through machines equipped with insulated hoods and electronic control interfaces for high-speed kitchen rotations.
• QK & LUX Series (Rack and Flight-Type): Industrial conveyor systems designed for massive throughput, awarded the Smart Label Host Innovation Award for their functional efficiency and "3R+" rinse technology.
• Specialized Warewashers: Advanced solutions including the multi-patented Granules machine for pot-scrubbing and the innovative vertical Wash & Store system for optimized space management.

The strategic value of Kromo lies in its "Zero-Waste Hygiene" ROI. By producing machines that balance heavy-duty Italian engineering with smart, water-saving logic, the brand provides a high-reliability foundation for businesses where sanitation speed and operating costs are paramount. Supported by the Ali Group’s global service network and a manufacturing output of over 20,000 machines per year, Kromo remains the foundational choice for operators seeking a standardized, high-tech solution to the most demanding warewashing challenges.
