School, Nursery, and Care Catering in France with our GN multi-cycle system

France is strictly committed to reusables. Starting from January 1, 2025, the EGalim law will come into effect, prohibiting the use of plastic in direct contact with food. This poses no issue for our GN multi-cycle System, made entirely of food-safe stainless steel.

To experience our solutions and products firsthand and to get to know them better, 10 representatives from the TREMPLIN reusable project visited us in Reutlingen, along with our French Rieber partner, Enodis. These were exciting days filled with forward-looking insights into the future of reusable food service.

The participants were responsible for the kitchen, production, quality, and logistics departments of the represented cities.

• The SIVUBM, which operates a central kitchen serving both Bordeaux and Mérignac.
• The city of Tours.
• Also present was the director of the Tremplin project, who guides these cities in their search for solutions.
• As well as our partner in France, Enodis

SIVU and the city of Tours are part of the TREMPLIN project and purchasing group. Due to the EGalim law, their objective is to transition the existing catering services from single-use to reusable in school food service.

• SIVU produces more than 23,500 meals per day using the Cook & Chill method
• Primarily for school catering and meal delivery for the elderly
• The city of Tours produces 8,500 meals per day
• The majority of these meals are delivered to schools, with a portion also going to childcare centers and nursing homes
• They also provide home delivery service (Meals on Wheels) and meals for municipal employees
