Whether you are an established gelato shop, an artisanal bakery, or a cafe looking to expand your dessert menu, one name stands out in the world of authentic Italian gelato equipment: Cattabriga.
As the exclusive official distributor of Cattabriga gelato machines in Malaysia, Marubishi Malaysia brings Italian gelato craftsmanship, industry-leading technology, and localized expert support directly to your commercial kitchen.
The Birth of Automatic Gelato: Otello Cattabriga’s Legacy
Before 1927, making gelato required laborious manual stirring and freezing. All of that changed when Italian inventor Otello Cattabriga engineered and patented the world's very first automatic gelato machine in Bologna, Italy.
Cattabriga’s invention motorized the traditional “detach and spread” motion used by artisan gelato makers, creating a smoother, denser, and more hygienic gelato with significantly less physical strain. This revolutionary machine was named the EFFE.
Nearly a century later, Cattabriga remains the global benchmark for artisanal gelato equipment, recognized as the no. 1 choice across Italy and Europe.
In Bologna, the historical birthplace of gelato, you will find that the vast majority of local gelaterias rely on Cattabriga machines for their daily production.
Considered the "Ferrari of the gelato machine world," Cattabriga represents the ultimate symbol of premium Italian engineering and heritage.
Today, under Iceteam 1927, the brand continues to lead the industry with energy-efficient, easy-to-use, and versatile machines trusted by top gelato maestros worldwide.
The Cattabriga Difference
On top of being the brand that pioneered automated gelato machines with authentic Italian craftsmanship since 1927, Cattabriga stands out by building on a distinct philosophy:
Why Choose Cattabriga?
Superior Texture & Low Overrun: Cattabriga machines incorporate less air, producing a dense, rich texture with a lingering finish that highlights milk, fruit, and nut aromas.
Precision Artisanship: Offers complete control over recipe parameters, overrun, firmness, and body, allowing chefs to perfect their signature balance.
Long-Term Profitability: Focuses on maximizing ROI through taste hence creating repeat customer loyalty, premium menu pricing, and consistent batch quality thus delivering true value over time rather than competing solely on initial machine cost.
