Cambro Manufacturing is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of one of its most revolutionary products: Camshelving®. When Camshelving was introduced to the foodservice market in 1999, it was extraordinary for two reasons. Not only does it not rust, but its polypropylene shelf plates contained Camguard, an antimicrobial technology that inhibits the growth of mold, fungus and bacteria. Up to this point, foodservice operations largely had metal shelving as their only option. Metal shelving is not only difficult to clean, but it rusts easily, creating potential food safety problems. Cambro sold Camshelving with a “Shelving for Life” goal and promise—and that’s just what it’s become.
Since the inception of Camshelving, several advanced accessories and new products have been created using the same durable materials. Accessories like divider panels and shelf rails keep items organized and safe while being stored on Camshelving. New products like Drying Cradles and Racks, the Flex Station, Ultimate #10 Can Rack, and Ultimate Sheet Pan Rack were all made possible thanks to the initial manufacturing of Camshelving.
