Since its founding in 1972, KBS Gastrotechnik has stood for expertise, service and consulting in gastronomy, large‑scale kitchens, hotels and food retail. Its portfolio ranges from refrigerators and freezers to professional washing systems, thermal appliances, stainless‑steel furniture, ventilation and preparation equipment. The B2B catalog from KBS is now available to the pCon Community—including up‑to‑date geometry, price and product code.
KBS closes a key gap in refrigeration and cold chain technology
In large-scale kitchen planning, it is often the details that reveal how complete a concept really is. Cooking equipment and stainless steel furniture are usually defined quickly. But as soon as refrigerators, salad stations, or cold and freezer rooms come into play, things become more complex. This is exactly where it becomes clear whether a plan truly works end to end and can be presented convincingly. With KBS Gastrotechnik, this area is now fully integrated into the pCon ecosystem. The relevant data is available exactly where it is needed: directly within the planning process.
With the addition of KBS product data, the pCon ecosystem is expanded with the full range of refrigeration and cold‑chain technology that is indispensable in gastronomy, hospitality and collective catering. This means that one of the core equipment categories in large kitchen projects can now be configured digitally from start to finish—from single full-door or glass-door refrigerators to complex cold and freezer rooms. Any change to a configuration automatically updates geometry, pricing, and product codes in real time, ensuring that proposals and visualisations are always up to date.
In the initial release of the pCon portfolio the following product groups are already available: bain‑maries, ice makers, chilled tables, cold rooms, refrigerators, pizza‑chill tables, salad stations, salad bars, freezer cabinets, chest freezers and wall‑mounted cooling racks. These categories cover the complete refrigeration chain of a kitchen project—from storage through preparation to retail merchandise presentation.

Smooth Price & Variant Logic – Any configuration change automatically updates geometry, price and code, dramatically speeding up quotation creation.
KBS draws on more than 45 years of expertise in refrigeration and large-scale kitchen technology. As part of the long-established Schmitt Group, whose roots date back to 1935, the company operates a nationwide sales network closely connected with qualified specialist trade partners. Its portfolio ranges from cost-conscious “Basic” and “Ready Line” products to premium “Made in Europe” solutions. All products are certified according to DIN ISO 9001:2015, ensuring consistently high quality standards.
Just as broad as its product range is KBS’s service offering. From selecting the right equipment to logistics, warranty handling, and repairs, the company supports the entire commercial process. Customers can also benefit from professional training, maintenance guidance, and even individually branded equipment—services designed to maintain long-term value.
With KBS Gastrotechnik the pCon ecosystem becomes complete in a field essential for real‑world kitchen projects. The refrigeration‑technology gap is closed, and planners can now digitally configure every equipment category of a large kitchen—from the smallest refrigerator to extensive cooling and freezing cells—in real time. Kitchen designers can therefore present their projects not only more visually compelling but also with stronger economic justification.
