It performs well in extreme climate conditions and needs little maintenance.” Said Mr Yatinder Pal Singh Suri, Managing Director and Country head, Outokumpu India.
“The widespread use of stainless steel in the food and drink, catering and kitchenware industry reflects the fact that stainless steel resists corrosion by most food and beverages. The product is not contaminated by stainless steel, and consequently no flavours or discolouration is imparted to the food and drink. In addition, stainless steel is readily cleaned, providing hygiene in food processing and handling. Stainless steel is also strong and can be formed into necessary shapes for food processing, handling and storage. Stainless steel is the ideal material to use in the food & drink industry” said Mr Suri.
