In 1955, Alto-Shaam Founder Jerry Maahs invented a holding solution to keep chicken hot for delivery as a restaurant operator. His invention led to the creation of gentle, radiant Halo Heat® technology and the original Cook & Hold oven – creating a new category in the industry. This spirit of innovation continues to drive Alto-Shaam forward today.
“We’re excited to mark our 70th anniversary at NAFEM,” said Alto-Shaam CEO Steve Maahs. “Alto-Shaam began with my father’s idea, turned into an invention. His mission to support the foodservice industry continues with our expert team. We look forward to showcasing our equipment solutions at the show.”

Alto-Shaam’s new Prodigi™ combi ovens, designed for efficiency, reliability and quality, will also be showcased, including new ENERGY STAR® certified models.
The Alto-Shaam booth will be interactive, with a section dedicated to ChefLinc™, its cloud-based remote oven management system.
