Gafihc - Malaga, Spain 30 th April to 2 nd May - Speed Meeting!
Herve Ross completes 50 meetings a day and a half in an admirable bid to spread the word about Carlisle's offering!
With a total of 250 people participating, the meeting between the 50 Gafihc members and suppliers, is the perfect opportunity to meet members from all over France. Gafihc Group is part of the 3 major customers for Carlisle in France, and members are divided in 2 activities: ARTIS (members specialized in Tableware); and AMATIS (members specialized in Kitchen equipment).
With only 15 minutes to introduce himself, and the Carlisle offer. Herve presented 3 key points to each delegate. The Carlisle “corporate” introduction; Carlisle product promotion, assisted by the new promotional leaflets; and our exciting new products. Particular interest was shown in the New Colored Food Pan range; Melamine dinnerware and Buffet as well as the Modular Deliware. All this within a 4m 2 booth!
The result was great. For the known members, this was a good opportunity to present new products and remind them of Carlisle products for which we are running a specific promotion. For new members, it has been the opportunity to meet people and introduce our brand. The best value was the opportunity to meet every rep.
Herve is now completing the action plan of sending catalogs all new prospects. This will generate requests for samples. Which will be followed up with demonstrations & meetings. For example, there is one member “CHR Discount” which is AMATIS, and will become ARTIS: Discussions are now in progress in order to review the particular Carlisle ranges and products they should carry in stock…

Success at Hotelympia & Internorga
We would like to send a big Thank You to all who visited us at Hotelympia & Internorga this year. Valued existing customers rubbed shoulders with new customers during these two exciting and bustling shows, to witness the unveiling of this year's first wave of new products.
The launch of innovative products from Carlisle included the long awaited new range of Step-On Waste Containers, the details for these can already be found in the Cleaning & Waste Solutions section of our 2010 Catalog.
The new range of Modular Deliware really looked the part on our displays. We demonstrated the ease and flexibility of use along with the numerous display possibilities, which impressed audiences at both shows. We are expecting the orders to reflect the great interest shown, once the product is available for sale.
It is with great anticipation that we await the launch of our innovative Bio-Melamine Buffet Range. The feedback we have received already is very encouraging, and as we complete the preparations for this range of biodegradable and sustainable, GN compatible displayware, we can't wait to launch it to market.
Watch this space!

MELAMINE
Recently, numerous articles have been published regarding the health effects of consuming melamine when it was discovered that melamine had been used in the manufacture of powdered milk products in China.
Carlisle’s melamine products meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) requirements found at FDA 21 CFR 181.32 for use in repeated use articles for direct food contact. In addition, our melamine dinnerware and displayware is certified by the U.S. National Sanitation Foundation (“NSF”) as safe for direct food contact applications. While there may be health risks associated with ingesting melamine, the FDA has determined that fully cured melamine products that come in contact with food will not transfer melamine into food and are therefore, safe for food contact applications.
Your business is important to us. You should be aware that Carlisle FoodService Products is committed to the safety of all of its products. Our goal is to bring you the best possible product at the best possible value. Carlisle FoodService Products constantly monitors the materials industry for new options and opportunities and continues to stay abreast of all FDA and NSF requirements regarding melamine and all other ingredients of its products. Carlisle FoodService will continue to maintain its monitoring efforts and notify you immediately should something change. If you would like to discuss this topic further, please don’t hesitate to call.
