Berto's

What Berto's does

Berto's is an Italian manufacturer of professional commercial kitchen equipment, founded in 1973 and headquartered in Tribano, Province of Padua, Veneto, operating as the privately held joint-stock company BERTO'S S.p.A. The company employs 51-100 staff, holds €3,000,000 in share capital, and sells primarily to restaurants, hotels, and collective catering operators. Its product range is organized into two main lines (Premium and Plus) covering cooking modules (S900, S700, MAXIMA 900, MACROS 700, PLUS 600), ovens (boiler, direct injection steam, compact), and cold-preservation equipment (blast chillers, refrigerated cabinets/counters/bases, vacuum packing machines), with a bespoke custom-engineering offering branded La Cucina.

Underlying technology centers on proprietary designs developed at the in-house Berto's Lab R&D facility, including compound steel cooktops that combine AISI 316 stainless steel with carbon steel, BFLEX electronic temperature/power control, induction surfaces claiming energy savings above 30%, vitrocermic plates reaching 500°C, and Incoloy-800 shielded electrical resistances in multifunction braisers. Equipment is built predominantly in AISI 304 and AISI 316 stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance. The catalog addresses multiple kitchen footprint requirements from 60 cm to 90 cm depth.

Berto's earns revenue from direct hardware sales of capital cooking equipment to enterprise buyers; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with configuration, line tier (Premium vs. Plus), and accessories determining order value. A dedicated spare parts portal (service.bertos.com) generates after-sales revenue. Distribution relies on direct enterprise field sales supplemented by an 8-language website, social media presence, newsletter, and trade exhibitions (Host Milan 2025). No third-party resellers, e-commerce checkout, or public revenue figures are disclosed.
