What Starrest Gastro GmbH does

Starrest Gastro GmbH is a privately held Swiss limited liability company (GmbH) founded on March 14, 2017, and headquartered in Oberentfelden, Aargau, Switzerland. It provides specialized beverage technology (Getränketechnik) services to the hospitality industry, including planning, installation, assembly, disassembly, cleaning, repair, maintenance, and on-call (Pikett) emergency services for gastro and beverage dispensing systems, as well as custom individual customer solutions.

The company operates with a two-person team consisting of Managing Director Thomas Haberstich, who brings over 36 years of cumulative work experience in beverage technology, and Service Technician Christoph Diel. Its core offering is an integrated suite of on-site services rather than modular products, and since 2024 it has operated as an official partner of Hertig AG, a beverage technology equipment supplier based in Hombrechtikon, enabling the company to bundle equipment supply with installation and after-sales service.

Starrest Gastro GmbH monetizes through quote-based professional services revenue delivered via direct B2B sales to hospitality customers (hotels, restaurants, bars) in Switzerland. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying primarily on direct phone and email contact plus a basic web presence (starrest.ch); pricing is not publicly disclosed. The business is founder-operated with no disclosed external investors, no subsidiaries, and operates exclusively in the Swiss domestic market.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves3 records

Expansion highlights2 records

Emerging players

• Winterhalter Gastronom GmbH: European specialist manufacturer of commercial dishwashing and professional kitchen cleaning systems with a service network in Switzerland. Comparable because it provides similar equipment planning, installation, and after-sales service to hospitality clients, though its core product focus is warewashing rather than beverage technology.
• MEIKO Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG: German manufacturer of commercial cleaning, dishwashing, and waste-handling technology with service operations across Europe including Switzerland. Comparable as a niche equipment specialist with a regional service network that overlaps with Starrest's hospitality customer base.
• Rational AG: German manufacturer of professional cooking systems with significant sales and service touchpoints in the Swiss hospitality market. Comparable as a German-speaking commercial-equipment specialist with installation and service infrastructure that intersects with hospitality beverage technology buyers.

Direct peers

• Hertig AG: Swiss beverage technology company based in Hombrechtikon that supplies equipment and services to hospitality venues. Direct peer because it operates in the same beverage technology category and serves the same hospitality customer base in Switzerland; also Starrest's official equipment partner since 2024.

Broad incumbents

• Electrolux Professional: Large global supplier of professional kitchen, food, and beverage equipment with full-service and installation offerings across Europe. Comparable as a broad incumbent that includes beverage system planning, installation, and service for hospitality customers, although it operates across many product categories beyond beverage technology.
• Ali Group S.r.l. Global foodservice equipment group with brands covering cooking, refrigeration, and beverage dispensing across the hospitality sector. Comparable as a broad incumbent that supplies equipment and service infrastructure to many of the same hospitality customers, though it does not specialize in Swiss beverage technology services.
• Hoshizaki Europe BV: Global manufacturer of commercial ice makers, beverage dispensers, and refrigeration equipment for the foodservice and hospitality industry. Comparable because it sells into the same hospitality venues and offers both equipment and service networks that overlap with Starrest's scope.

Regional players

• Wesco AG (Switzerland): Swiss wholesaler and service provider of gastronomy, hotel, and catering equipment based in Switzerland. Comparable as a regional player serving the same hospitality establishment base with equipment, planning, and after-sales services, though it operates at greater scale and broader scope than Starrest.
