Intergast

What Intergast does

Intergast a.s. is a Prague-headquartered, privately held Czech company that designs, supplies, and installs professional gastronomic kitchens and related equipment for the hospitality, institutional, and food production sectors. Founded in 1994 and operating for approximately 30 years, the company executes end-to-end kitchen projects — from on-site consultation and layout design through custom stainless steel fabrication, equipment specification, installation, and staff training — and supports the installed base with an in-house service operation, a 24/7 service and chef hotline, and a dedicated professional washing subsidiary. Annual throughput is approximately 50 full kitchen projects and 500 large cooking and washing machine installations across the Czech Republic, with a recurring service book of more than 1,000 installed machines.

The equipment portfolio is sourced from premium European manufacturers — primarily MKN (convection ovens, multifunctional pans, cooking kettles), Hobart (dishwashing), Menu System (induction monoblocks), Irinox (blast chilling), Hugentobler (holding/proofing), and Validex — combined with Intergast's own custom stainless steel fabrication. The group operates through four subsidiaries (INTERGAST a.s., INTERGAST PRODUKT s.r.o., INTERGAST SERVIS s.r.o., and Odborná myčková a.s.) plus a specialty brand (Kuchyně 54°), with go-to-market executed via consultative enterprise field sales across the Czech Republic and complemented by regional GASTROSHOW demonstration events.

Commercial model combines one-time project revenues (custom kitchen design and installation), equipment unit sales, recurring managed-service maintenance and washing contracts, and equipment financing/leasing with subsidy advisory. Customer segments span restaurants, hotels, bistros and cafés, corporate canteens, school cafeterias, training kitchens, food production facilities, sports arenas, and TV production (including Hell's Kitchen Czech Republic), with reference customers including Fairmont Golden Prague, IKEA, O2, OD Máj, Česká zemědělská univerzita v Praze, Horácká multifunkční aréna, and Hotel Thermal Karlovy Vary.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Regional players

• Williams Refrigeration: UK commercial refrigeration manufacturer and supplier with a comparable foodservice channel. While primarily a manufacturer rather than distributor, it operates in the same professional kitchen equipment category and competes for the same end customers in its domestic geography.

Broad incumbents

• True Manufacturing: US-headquartered commercial refrigeration manufacturer with growing European presence. A broad incumbent that competes in foodservice refrigeration alongside Intergast's Irinox blast-chilling portfolio.
• Middleby Corporation: Global foodservice equipment conglomerate owning brands including Rational-adjacent combi ovens, Convotherm, TurboChef, and many others. It is a broad incumbent competing with many of Intergast's premium equipment partners and increasingly offering integrated kitchen solutions globally.
• Ali Group: Global foodservice equipment conglomerate owning dozens of premium brands (Hoshizaki, Scotsman, Beverage-Air, etc.). A broad incumbent whose portfolio overlaps significantly with Intergast's equipment mix and which could at any time establish direct Czech operations.
• Hoshizaki: Global commercial refrigeration and ice machine manufacturer with extensive European operations. A broad incumbent competing in the blast-chiller and refrigeration categories where Intergast distributes Irinox products.
• Electrolux Professional: Global manufacturer of professional cooking, dishwashing, and laundry equipment serving hospitality, healthcare, and food retail. A broad incumbent that competes with the brands Intergast distributes and could expand direct sales channels into the Czech market.
• Rational AG: World's leading manufacturer of combi ovens and a direct functional competitor to MKN (Intergast's flagship cooking partner). As a broad incumbent, Rational could expand direct distribution into Czech hospitality and erode Intergast's positioning in the combi-oven category.

Direct peers

• Lockhart Catering Equipment: UK-based foodservice equipment distributor and kitchen design partner supplying premium cooking, refrigeration, and warewashing equipment alongside installation and service. Mirrors Intergast's consultative field-sales model and premium-brand portfolio positioning.
• Nisbets: One of the largest UK and European foodservice equipment distributors, supplying cooking, refrigeration, warewashing, and tableware alongside kitchen design and installation services. Comparable to Intergast at a much larger scale, with similar focus on premium brands and full-solution delivery.
• Stalgast: Polish commercial kitchen equipment distributor and integrator with a comparable end-to-end model (consultative sales, equipment supply from premium European manufacturers, custom fabrication, installation, and after-sale service). It is the closest geographic and operational analog to Intergast in the Central European market.
