FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Alto-Shaam has been awarded the Education Provider of the Year Award for 2009 from the Foodservice Consultants Society International (FCSI) The Americas.

Alto-Shaam has held hundreds of seminars in its Culinary Center located in its world headquarters in Menomonee Falls. Wis. The award is a direct reflection of how the attendees view and value the educational content and overall experience of the seminars given at Alto-Shaam’s Culinary Center.

The award is based on evaluations that FCSI members complete after attending seminars. The award committee at FCSI also notes how seminars are conducted, if innovative information is covered, and if proper procedures are followed.

“The quality of the seminars and their content are top priority for us,” said Robert Simmelink, executive chef at Alto-Shaam. “Both Alto-Shaam and the consultants invest considerable time and resources to our seminars. This award demonstrates the excellence that everyone here at Alto-Shaam pursues, from the office staff to the factory staff to the culinary staff. We all earned this award together.”
