Rational Ovens: Pioneering Innovation in Cooking Technology
Rational Ovens began with the idea of combining steam and convection cooking into a single appliance. In 1976, we developed our first Rational Oven, a pioneering combi-steamer. Since then, we have dedicated ourselves to its continuous improvement. However, our company has never been content with merely being a mechanical engineer. Instead, we see ourselves as innovative solutions providers. Above all, our utmost priority is to satisfy our customers.
This vision has transformed Rational into a global market and technology leader. Consequently, Rational Ovens have become integral to industrial kitchens worldwide. With over 750,000 Rational Ovens on the market, our appliances set the standard in professional kitchens. Notably, 93% of our global customers confirm that Rational offers maximum customer benefit, according to a TNS Infratest 2016 study. This satisfaction likely explains why almost all of them would recommend Rational Ovens to others.
Commitment to Quality and Culinary Excellence
We ensure that Rational Ovens are 100% made in Germany. Our workforce includes around 1,800 employees, with about 850 based in Germany. Our team produces all Rational Ovens at our site in Landsberg am Lech, in Bavaria. Since our IPO in 2000, Rational AG has been listed in the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and is currently part of the MDAX.
To guarantee high-quality and perfectly functioning appliances, our team checks each Rational Oven four times before delivery. Moreover, our technical departments coordinate regularly to maintain and improve product quality.
Our corporate philosophy reflects our approach to research and development. Physicists, food scientists, development engineers, and experienced chefs collaborate in our R&D team. This synergy not only makes Rational a company for professional chefs but also the chef’s company. With over 250 professional chefs on staff, our application-centric organisation forms the powerful basis for Rational’s unique innovative drive.
At NWCE Food Service Equipment, we offer Rational Oven repair services in Manchester and across the North West of England.
