READER PICKS » Cadillac Carts
Since 1947, many have viewed Carter-Hoffmann as synonymous with quality. What began as a small welding
shop now is a leader in the hospitality world for commercial foodservice equipment, particularly hotel banquet
holding and transportation carts.
For instance, Kim Nelson, GM & COO of Kelber Catering at the Minneapolis
Convention Center, remembers his first day and his first task. It was July 15, 1974;
Nelson was assigned to uncrate the new Carter-Hoffmann banquet carts. More than
31 years later, both Nelson and those original banquet carts are still in service.
According to Nelson, it's a testament to Carter-Hoffmann's product quality, their dedication
to service, and a long-standing commitment to the hospitality industry.
Kelber Catering services more than 1,600,000 square feet of catering space.
Accommodating sit-down meals for up to 7,200 people, the convention center
requires production and consistency. What is the solution? Kelber counts on more
than 20 Carter-Hoffmann BB200D banquet carts every day.
Nelson achieves product consistency and labor savings. He can plate multiple
functions in one kitchen and transport meals to banquet rooms. He believes Carter-
Hoffmann is the "Cadillac of the industry" because their banquet carts are "well-built, durable, and the service
exceeds all others."--KB
