Cattabriga since 1927
The first and most important brand within Iceteam 1927 is CATTABRIGA. In 1927, an ingenious Italian inventor, Otello Cattabriga, designed a mechanical system for producing artisanal gelato, replicating the traditional “detach and spread” movement of manual processing. Since then, CATTABRIGA has been synonymous with continuous technological advancement, setting new standards in high‑end gelato making.
From the historic “Effe,” the first vertical machine with manual extraction, the company has introduced key innovations that have shaped the evolution of artisanal gelato, leading up to the launch of Multifreeze PRO — the machine designed to meet the needs of the most demanding gelato makers. ICETEAM 1927, with CATTABRIGA as its cornerstone, has elevated this tradition, maintaining the brand as the top of the range within an increasingly broad and complete offering.
Coldelite
The story of COLDELITE runs parallel — or almost — to that of CATTABRIGA. Since its creation, the brand has been associated with the exploration of new technologies. Unlike many competitors, the company has always placed strong emphasis on its relationship with end users, gathering feedback and using it to adapt its products to evolving needs.
Over time, COLDELITE has built a genuine bond with gelato makers, refining gelato production through the combined method. In 2010, the brand became part of ICETEAM 1927, inheriting the technological achievements of the MULTIFREEZE solutions, which were extended in 2011 to the combined machine range. COMPACTA VARIO, the result of this union, uses sophisticated technologies aimed at energy savings, quiet operation, superior product quality and the ability to process extremely small quantities — unmatched in the sector. The machine is among the most advanced in the industry and has quickly become a key player in European and international markets.
Promag
Founded in 1986, Promag carries forward the legacy of the historic Mark.
Established in 1966, Mark was a driving force of technical and marketing innovation in Italian artisanal gelato, introducing, among other achievements, the first horizontal batch freezer.
Its products have always been known for their extreme ease of use combined with the robustness of their components.
Promag has a long-standing presence in the sector and embodies values such as innovation and convenience, offering high‑quality solutions at competitive prices.
The activities of this brand also absorbed the historic OTT FREEZER, active since 1935 and specialized in multifunction machines for pastry and foodservice, which continue to enjoy great success.
Ott-Freezer
Founded in 1935 by Erwin Ott, Ott‑Freezer began developing and manufacturing high‑quality gelato machines that soon became recognized as the best equipment for artisanal gelato production, conquering the global market. Over nearly 80 years, the company has made remarkable progress and, since 2010, has been part of the ICETEAM 1927 group.
Ott‑Freezer machines produce top‑quality desserts, giving customers a strong competitive advantage thanks to their high level of originality and reliability.
Ott‑Freezer quality has made this historic brand the preferred choice of top chefs in gastronomy and pastry.
