About Hertel Grilltechnik GmbH
Hertel Grilltechnik GmbH in Schwarzenbach a. d. Saale has been manufacturing vending vehicles and vending trailers for the mobile sale of rotisserie chicken and other foods since 1987. The complete rotisserie superstructures are made 100 percent from stainless steel in the company's own workshop: stainless-steel sheets are bent and punched, components are welded and assembled into a turnkey vending vehicle. The company integrates rotisserie grills, refrigeration and gas supply – competencies that stem from the company's own operation of the vehicles, as Hertel also operates the vending vehicles itself. In addition to the vehicles, which are designed according to country-specific requirements, Hertel produces custom stainless-steel products and gastronomy equipment. The vehicles are in use, among other places, in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Lithuania, Italy, Ireland, the USA, Libya, South Africa and Australia.
