Alto-Shaam

Alto-Shaam has remained at the forefront of the foodservice industry since its founding in 1955. Based in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, the family-owned company revolutionized commercial kitchens by inventing Halo Heat® technology, which led to the development of the original Cook & Hold oven. Today, Alto-Shaam is a global leader, providing premium equipment solutions to more than 90 countries while maintaining a core focus on innovation and domestic manufacturing.

The brand’s reputation is built upon its proprietary Halo Heat technology, which utilizes low-density thermal cables to surround food with gentle, radiant heat. This system avoids the harsh temperatures and fans that typically degrade food quality, significantly reducing protein shrinkage and maximizing yields. Integrated into their Cook & Hold ovens and heated holding cabinets, this technology enables "lights-out" overnight cooking, reducing labor and energy costs while ensuring consistent quality in high-volume environments like supermarkets and institutional facilities.

Furthering its technical leadership, Alto-Shaam pioneered Structured Air Technology® to power its Vector® and Converge® multi-cook ovens. These systems feature independent chambers that allow for the simultaneous preparation of diverse menu items with zero flavor transfer. This innovation enables kitchens to air-fry, bake, and steam within a compact, ventless footprint, making it ideal for spaces where ventilation is limited. When paired with the ChefLinc™ remote management system, operators can manage recipes and monitor equipment data across multiple locations for standardized performance.

Alto-Shaam provides comprehensive kitchen systems supported by a robust network of culinary and technical experts. By combining high-performance machinery with cloud-based monitoring and dedicated after-sales service, the company ensures a high return on investment and long-term reliability. Their commitment to sustainable, efficient design makes Alto-Shaam a foundational partner for foodservice operators seeking to optimize their workflow and menu flexibility through advanced thermal engineering.
