Winterhalter: The Premium Name in Commercial Warewashing

In a professional kitchen, sparkling glassware and sanitised dishes aren’t just nice to have — they’re essential. That’s why so many operators turn to Winterhalter. With a reputation for precision, hygiene, and efficiency, this German brand has become the go-to choice for commercial warewashing. From fine dining to high-volume catering, Winterhalter machines are trusted to deliver results, day in and day out.

From Family Business to Global Leader

Winterhalter was founded in 1947 by Karl Winterhalter in Friedrichshafen, Germany. What began as a small family business quickly evolved into a leading name in the commercial warewashing industry. The company is still family-owned today, and it continues to operate with a clear focus on quality, innovation, and long-term support.

Its UK headquarters is located in Milton Keynes, offering sales, service, parts, and customer training. Meanwhile, the company’s appliances are manufactured at advanced facilities in Germany and Switzerland — a detail that underlines its commitment to reliability and build quality.

“Winterhalter combines German engineering with practical innovation — it’s built for kitchens that can’t afford compromise.”

Designed for Demanding Kitchens

Winterhalter machines are made for commercial kitchens that operate at full tilt. Whether it’s a compact glasswasher in a bar or a pass-through dishwasher in a hotel, every model is engineered for performance, speed, and hygiene. Operators can count on consistent, sparkling results — with minimal water and chemical usage.

The brand also offers complete warewashing systems, including detergents, water treatment units, and accessories designed to work in sync. This integrated approach is part of what makes Winterhalter a favourite in sectors where cleanliness and reliability are non-negotiable.

Flagship Product Ranges

• UC Series: Undercounter glasswashers and dishwashers, ideal for bars, cafés, and small restaurants. Quiet, efficient, and user-friendly.
• PT Series: Pass-through dishwashers for fast-paced service in restaurants, hotels, and production kitchens.
• CTR & MT Series: Conveyor and flight-type dishwashers designed for high-volume operations such as hospitals, schools, and large canteens.
• Water Treatment Systems: Includes softeners and reverse osmosis units to protect machines and ensure streak-free results.

Trusted by Operators, Backed by Engineering

Winterhalter’s reputation is built on more than just performance. Operators appreciate the ease of use — with intuitive digital displays, eco modes, and automatic cleaning cycles that reduce labour. Engineers, on the other hand, rate the brand for its reliability, service-friendly design, and availability of genuine spare parts.

“If you want spotless results every time, you go with Winterhalter. It’s as simple as that.”

Because every element of the system is optimised to work together — from the machine to the detergent and water treatment — results are consistent and easier to replicate across multiple locations.

Service, Spares, and Support

Winterhalter UK offers comprehensive aftercare, including training, telephone support, and access to authorised service engineers. Genuine spare parts — including wash arms, filters, pumps, and door seals — are widely available, helping to keep machines running with minimal disruption.

Maintenance is made easier with helpful documentation, exploded diagrams, and diagnostic systems built into the machines themselves. With the right servicing, many Winterhalter machines continue operating efficiently well beyond their initial warranty period.

Why Winterhalter Stands Out

Winterhalter isn’t just another dishwasher brand — it’s a complete warewashing solution. From compact café setups to full-service hotel kitchens, the company has developed a trusted reputation for performance, engineering, and support. While it sits at the premium end of the market, many operators consider it a long-term investment in hygiene, efficiency, and peace of mind.

If your kitchen demands spotless results and no-nonsense reliability, Winterhalter continues to set the standard.
