RETIGO at the International Economic Forum St. Petersburg 2011

22/06/11 - Numerous high-class politicians and economists attended this year's International Economic Forum, which took place in St. Petersburg, Russia from June 16th to June 18th. Because special care was needed to look after the well-being of each particular guest, the organizing committee furnished the main forum kitchen with RETIGO Blue Vision Combi steamers.


Twenty size 2011 ovens and one size 611 oven were set up and supervised by the RETIGO Service Center team from Germany and Austria in the main kitchen as well as in numerous smaller kitchens located on the forum area.

Mirko Reeh, a well known chef from German TV, pampered the forum's visitors with cuisine of the highest quality;for example, Norwegian salmon fillet with pesto cream and veal fillet medallions on lemongrass curry were part of the lunch menu. German sales representative Heiko Götz amazed the 80 chefs in the forum's kitchen by demonstrating the variety of possibilities that RETIGO Vision combisteamers offer.

More than 50,000 meals were served in the main restaurant areas alone and German cuisine was also enjoyed by the participants, especially Thüringer sausages with sauerkraut in the forum's summer café. The International Economic Forum's visitors, including Russia's president Medwedew, had nothing but the highest praise for the food, the kitchen staff and the over 1900 people, whose efforts catering this event helped to make it a spectacular success.

At the end of the event, Mirko Reeh was very pleased and also thanked the RETIGO Service Center team on his facebook page:
"Thank you RETIGO for the great support, it is a pleasure working with you and your ovens are excellent machines."
