Why Covr for professionals?
Our porcelain plates are designed for the pace of commercial and contract catering, hotels, events and food trades. Porcelain offers:
- High mechanical resistance (impacts, scratches) and shape stability; reinforced rim depending on the model.
- Compliant food contact, technical data sheets and compliance documents available.
- Neat finishes (professional white, smooth glaze) to preserve the appearance through service after service and dishwashing.
Productivity:
- Professional dishwasher: compatible with conveyor dishwashers; the hard glaze limits absorption and makes cleaning easier.
- Stackable: controlled stacking heights to save storage space (GN trolleys/shelves).
- Low breakage in normal use; rims designed to limit chipping when sent to the dining room and returned to the pantry.
- Standardised sizes (19/23/24/27 cm) to streamline plating and keep costs under control.
Economy:
- Competitive web prices.
- Very advantageous cost per use vs disposable: porcelain pays for itself over many cycles.
