Tell us about your business
My name is Roman Mattheis, and I am the owner of Gasthaus Lamm, a family business that has been operating continuously since 1860.
Every day, we prepare approximately 4,000 fresh meals using local, high-quality ingredients. Our meals are delivered to kindergartens, schools, facilities for people with disabilities, nursing homes, and home meal delivery services.
Sustainability is a core value for us. Energy efficiency, responsible resource use, and environmentally friendly technologies are fully aligned with the way we work and with the responsibility we have toward the people we serve—especially children and vulnerable groups.
Which IRINOX equipment do you use in your operation?
Our relationship with IRINOX began in 2012, and our experience has been consistently positive. The reliability, low operating costs, and long-term performance of the machines convinced us to continue investing in this technology.
Today, we use:
- 1 MultiFresh® 70.2
- 2 MultiFresh® Next XXL blast chillers
A decisive factor was the use of natural refrigerant R-290, which not only supports our sustainability goals but also allowed us to access German government incentives.
