A Personal Journey: Business Meets Homeland

Earlier this month, I returned to Bangladesh—not just as a native, but as a representative of Hattori Kogyo. Attending the 8th FOOD BANGLADESH INTERNATIONAL EXPO 2025, organized by CEMS-Global USA, alongside our sales representative Kh Mahir Ahmed, was both a professional milestone and a deeply personal journey. Witnessing the innovations in my homeland highlighted the immense potential and evolving needs of Bangladesh's food service industry. My experience has provided insights and connections to support the Bangladeshi market now and in the future. Click here, to learn more about the event: https://www.cems-foodexpo.com/

                              
Bangladesh’s Food Industry: A Market on the Rise

Bangladesh's food service sector is experiencing significant growth. The demand for high-quality, reliable products is rising, and understanding local needs is key to establishing a strong presence. This surge is driven by factors such as urbanization, a growing middle class, and increasing demand for diverse culinary experiences.

Insights from the Expo: Innovation and Diversity
At the expo, I was impressed by the emergence of ready-to-eat meals and premix products—innovations that signal a shift towards convenience without compromising on taste. Engaging with professionals from various sectors highlighted the diverse needs and aspirations within the industry.

Challenges in Commercial Kitchens: A Call for Reliable Solutions
Despite the growth, many commercial kitchens in Bangladesh face challenges such as:

• Durability: Equipment that withstands heavy usage.
• Efficiency: Tools that streamline operations and save time.
• Safety: Ensuring a secure environment for kitchen staff.
• Consistency: Maintaining food quality across large batches.

These challenges underscore the need for reliable, high-quality kitchen equipment tailored to local requirements.

Hattori’s Commitment: Empowering Kitchens with Precision
At Hattori, we offer a diverse range of commercial kitchen equipment (deck rice cookers, mixing arm, gas kettles, steam kettles) designed to meet these challenges head-on. These equipment are engineered for:

• Durability: Built to last in demanding environments.
• Efficiency: Optimized for high-volume cooking.
• Safety: Incorporating features that protect users.
• Sustainability: Designed to reduce CO₂ emissions, aligning with environmental goals.

Our equipment is well-suited for various sectors, including hotels, airlines, schools, catering services, hospitals, restaurants and food processing units.

A Vision for the Future: Collaboration and Growth
Our mission extends beyond providing equipment; we aim to empower local chefs and businesses to scale operations, reduce costs, and contribute to the nation's economic growth. By understanding and addressing the unique needs of the Bangladeshi market, we aspire to be a catalyst for innovation and excellence in the food industry.

A Personal Reflection
Witnessing the vibrancy and potential of the local food industry has inspired me to strengthen our commitment to supporting and growing alongside it. To all the passionate professionals I've met and those yet to connect with us: let's collaborate to build smarter, more efficient kitchens that honor tradition while embracing innovation.
