Elior is a very well-established business in Italy with a long history of foresight, strategy and innovation, which was born in the Genoa shipyards in 1954, and has today ten thousand collaborators, two thousand restaurants and over 106 million customers every year. Part of their strategy to approach new markets is through the Division called SMB (Small-Medium-Business), offering innovative and modular solutions for small and medium-sized food outlets.

The SMB Division of the company has identified four formats which focus on the line of products in a protective atmosphere without the addition of chemical preservatives, which offers - among the first, main courses and side dishes - over two hundred recipes prepared by Elior nutritionists and chefs. The gastronomic offer varies according to seasonality and ranges from traditional Italian dishes such as lasagna Bolognese, to light and genuine dishes, such as sliced chicken and steamed spinach, all the way to vegan, or vegetarian dishes. Elior thus offers different distribution modules to accommodate different needs and environments.
