The partnership will see Grand Cuisine sell Mareno’s portfolio of modular cooking equipment through its distributor partners.
It was announced in May that Mareno’s previous partner, Dawson MMP Ltd, would close down at the end of the year.
“I am delighted that after an extensive selection process they have put their faith in us,” said Grande Cuisine managing director, Steve Hobbs. “Mareno is one of the best known and most highly respected names in the UK equipment market and will therefore sit very comfortably alongside the other market leading brands in our portfolio.
“We intend to make a significant investment in growing the Mareno brand in the UK and have already made provision for its products to feature on the Grande Cuisine stand at Hotelympia in 2018.”
Mareno legacy warranty will be managed by Dawson MMP Limited until the service team transition on 30 November, after which date AFE Serviceline will support all warranty and contract customer requirements with regard to appliances purchased through Dawson.
