Gram Equipment is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of equipment for making ice cream – freezers, extruders, ingredient feeders and much more. With Fabrika as a permanent supplier of electric motors, Gram Equipment can ensure adapted electric motors for the entire global ice production.

No ice cream without an electric motor

An ice cream waffle on a hot summer day is a Danish classic. But there is nothing old-fashioned about the production behind it. When the cold temptation hits the refrigerated counter, it is, among other things, the result of a close collaboration between Fabrika’s product specialists and the engineers at Gram Equipment. The ice is often produced on machines supplied by Gram Equipment in Aarhus – and the machines have electric motors that come from Fabrika.

Possibility of customized solutions with Fabrika

Freezing machines include electric motors as vital components. The electric motors help to ensure circulation in the ice mass, and this places very special demands on the equipment. The electric motors must not only be reliable and be able to be controlled precisely, but they must also be able to be adapted to the customer’s very specific needs. Here, the engineers at Gram Equipment work closely with Fabrika’s product specialists to specify the motors according to the special requirements that apply in different markets around the world.

John Christensen, Purchasing Manager at Gram Equipment, describes the collaboration with Fabrika below, and notes, among other things, the professional dialogue and thorough advice that characterizes Fabrika:

“We prioritise three things, quality, delivery and support. The quality is always in order when the name Siemens is written on the motor. Delivery must also be optimum, because delayed production is unacceptable. And finally, we must have professional communication all the way round – which we have with Fabrika.”

Fabrika as a regular supplier and quality assurance

Gram Equipment is the result of a merger between WCB Ice Cream and the traditional Danish refrigerator manufacturer Gram, and today Gram Equipment supplies sophisticated production equipment for the entire global ice production. For several years, Fabrika has been a regular supplier of electric motors from Siemens directly to Gram’s production. The electric motors that Gram Equipment buys from Fabrika come from Siemens and are sent directly from Germany to Gram’s production in Kolding. Before then, Fabrika’s technicians have specified the products, and Fabrika’s quality specialists follow production and logistics closely.

Successful collaboration

With Fabrika’s experienced product specialist, Gram Equipment has the opportunity to create customized production equipment for the entire ice cream industry. Fabrika does what we do best and guarantees reliable and customized electric motors – then Gram Equipment can do what they are best at and trust that they deliver a quality product to their customers every time.
