Lincat win Excellence Award for innovative FilterFlow water boiler
Lincoln business Lincat Ltd, one of world’s leading manufacturers of commercial catering equipment, has received a Caterer and Hotelkeeper ‘Excellence Award’ for its innovative FilterFlow automatic-fill water boiler, with unique built-in filtration. The award was presented to Nick McDonald, Lincat’s Marketing Director, at a prestigious awards ceremony in London, organised by the catering industry’s leading magazine, Caterer and Hotelkeeper, to celebrate ‘innovation and excellence’ in the hospitality industry.
Nick McDonald said…
“Combining pioneering technology with value for money, FilterFlow’s unique built-in filtration unit ensures premium water quality every time, resulting in great tasting tea! At the same time the filtration system prevents damaging scale build up which can seriously compromise performance of over time. With a conventional boiler it is necessary to plumb a separate filter upstream of the unit. However this can be unattractive and it certainly adds to the cost. So by eliminating the need for a separate filtration unit, our new ‘FilterFlow’ system is also convenient, reliable and cost effective.”
“The Caterer and Hotelkeeper’s ‘Excellence Awards’ are the most sought after in our sector, so it’s good that FilterFlow has been recognised in this way. It’s also satisfying to have won such an important category since every caterer needs a water boiler, from the smallest café or shop to the largest, institutional kitchen. To win an Excellence Award for FilterFlow is therefore of real commercial value. It’s excellent news for Lincat and a real feather in the cap for British design and manufacturing.”
In addition to water boilers, Lincat supplies over 450 products including: fryers, griddles, grills, ovens and combi steamers as well as hot cupboards, trolleys and food display merchandisers, almost all of which are manufactured at the company’s factory in Lincoln. Lincat Ltd, together with its sister companies IMC Ltd and Britannia Kitchen Ventilation, form the Lincat Group plc.
