Foodservice Education: A Legacy of Expertise and Passion
At the heart of the foodservice industry lies a rich tapestry of history, expertise, and passion.
Our companies proudly embody this heritage, dedicating themselves to preserving and sharing this profound legacy with both current and future generations. This dedication is fueled by two key objectives:
- Continually improving the quality of our products
- Enhancing professional standards within the industry
Our dedication to educational excellence is perfectly illustrated by the Welbilt University program in the United States. Offering hands-on programs led by seasoned professionals from various Welbilt companies, it stands as a beacon of learning and development. These companies are corporate members of FCSI The Americas, actively contributing to the FCSI Education Provider Program (EPP). This program plays a pivotal role in the ongoing education of FCSI consultants, offering pre-approved courses that enable participants to earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs). These CEUs are crucial for maintaining professional education standards and membership status within the industry.
Welbilt University serves as a remarkable hub for comprehensive learning about the diverse companies within Welbilt. It’s an invaluable resource for gaining in-depth knowledge in one centralized location, reflecting our unwavering commitment to advancing foodservice education and upholding the high standards of our esteemed industry.

This venture is a homage to the skill of gelatieri and is aimed at transmitting the values of fresh, quality gelato that Italy is famous for worldwide.
The exhibit takes the visitor on a journey from the beginnings to today, telling three different stories: the evolution of gelato, the history of the technology and the places and ways to enjoy it. The research and work done by the curators, Luciana Polliotti and Andrea Barbieri, has brought together 20 different machines, over 10,000 photographs, rare historical documents and unique accessories.
