What Andres does

Andres (legal entity ANDRES SAS) is a privately held French company headquartered in Obernai, near Strasbourg, that sells, installs, and services professional refrigeration (froid), cooking (cuisson), and warewashing (laverie) equipment for restaurants, hotels, catering operators, bars, and pubs. Founded in 1990 and operating with 11-50 employees, the company runs a single-site regional operation in the Grand Est / Alsace area, anchored by a showroom and demo kitchen that allows clients to physically test equipment before purchase.

Its core offering is a turnkey package: 2D/3D kitchen and bar design studies, supply of equipment from a partner network of roughly fifteen premium brands (including Rational, Winterhalter, Foster, Sammic, Charvet, Gamko, MKN, Friginox, ROSINOX, Tournus, Brita, Actif Industries, PV-Labo-Concept, ALVENE HD, and Plaque-Induction.com), multi-trade installation covering electricity, plumbing, and refrigeration, and a 24/7 after-sales service backed by Veritas-certified technicians for refrigerant handling. The company also designs and fabricates custom stainless steel furniture (mobilier inox sur mesure) for layouts that off-the-shelf equipment cannot accommodate.

Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales plus professional services fees for design, installation, and ongoing maintenance; pricing is quote-driven and not publicly disclosed, and the company operates as a privately held SAS with no external funding, parent company, or disclosed shareholder structure identified in the available sources.
