Historically, Swanwick Catering Equipment has been one of the leading importers of US foodservice brands into the UK, either for export to The Middle East, Africa or for the US Military in Europe.

Back as early as the 1980s, Swanwick Catering Equipment was importing brands such as Market Forge, Blodgett, Bakers Pride, Pitco and Manitowoc. More recently we have aligned strategic partnerships with Vulcan Hart and Hobart, Garland, The Manitowoc Groupand Crown Foodservice. We have access to all US brands, either directly or thought gold-key partnerships with established US domestic distributors.

While the trend in the US has been to avoid CE certification, more and more brands are now offering CE certified products for use within the European Union and we now have access to many more brands, including BKI Standex, Bakers pride and Nor Lake.

While we operate as an Electrolux distributor for domestic UK and Europe, we are now importing and exporting more US brands than ever before. There is a trend in the Middle East and Africa towards US brands and we have established ourselves as a major importer and exporter of US foodservice equipment. We now offer Vulcan Hart for prime cooking equipment, Berkel for preparation equipment, Crown for steam cooking equipment and BKI Standex for specialist ovens and cooking appliances. We also work with Garland and Hobart for export.

For this reason we have created our own e-commerce application for African and Middle East markets. Please visit 247foodservice.com for all your export and procurement needs.
