Cologne, Germany
Catering for thousand of people demands flawless logistics. When older transport equipment started to limit efficiency, Koelncongress Gastronomie turned to ScanBox. The result? Better temperature control, smoother handling, and a modern, professional look across their operations.
Behind the successful events at Koelncongress Gastronomie lies a carefully orchestrated process - where food quality and timing must align perfectly. The company manages three of Cologne’s most prominent venues - CONFEX, Gürzenich Köln, and Tanzbrunnen - serving up to 12,500 guests at conferences, banquets, and cultural events.
For years, the team relied on conventional food transport carts from various manufacturers. But as the equipment aged, everyday work became more demanding. “Our biggest challenge was maintaining the right temperature during transport from the kitchen to the point of service,” the team explains. “The old trolleys were heavy and difficult to handle, which affected efficiency.”
Realizing that their existing setup had reached its limits, Koelncongress Gastronomie began exploring more modern alternatives. That search led them to ScanBox, a Swedish-designed system of insulated, modular food transport units known for their smart design and reliability.
It quickly became clear that ScanBox offered exactly what they needed. With a wide range of sizes, the units could be tailored to different event types - from intimate receptions to large gala dinners. “ScanBox offered us a solution for almost every need,” the catering team notes. “We were impressed by the all-around bump protection, the braking system, and how easy they are to maneuver.”
Outdated, heavy transport equipment made it difficult to maintain food temperatures and efficiency across three major event venues.

Integration into daily operations was effortless. And the results were immediate: Hot meals stayed hot, and cold dishes stayed perfectly chilled - even during long transports between venues. “We were genuinely surprised by how effective the insulation is,” they add. “It helps us maintain consistent quality, even during our busiest events.”
Since adopting ScanBox, Koelncongress Gastronomie has seen clear improvements in food safety, handling comfort, and operational flow. The modern Scandinavian design also complements their premium event environments, giving their catering operations a more professional and cohesive appearance.
“ScanBox has really raised the standard for food logistics in our daily operations,” the team concludes. “It’s the next generation of food transport - combining great design with outstanding energy efficiency.”
