WEHRNER GUTSTADT

Founder & CEO

I started Culinary with the vision of equipping my home with a stove that would perform at a level that a chef would expect. I found Lacanche and loved cooking on it so much that I decided to bring the range to South Africa. Little did I know that this single product would open my mind to the wide range of products that had remained hidden from our market.

I soon came to appreciate that chefs needed the tools and appliances that I had seen and used abroad in restaurants and my network of relationships made it possible for me to offer these fine products locally.

We soon began offering kitchen design services too. As an efficiency and space planning expert I devise layouts of kitchens that were highly tuned to the needs of ergonomics. Chefs that worked with us over the years taught me about their challenges, and I took great enjoyment in designing kitchens that made their creations come to life.

To this day our business is about passion, and we work with a burning desire to make kitchens better.

STEFAN GUTSTADT

Managing Director

A kitchen has always played a significant role in my life, from the meals my family prepared together at home, to working at Schulphoek House and Culinary during school holidays. I’ve spent years learning from some of the world's top chefs how successful kitchens are run, and every day this knowledge is invaluable in making sure we exceed our client's expectations.

We offer the consistent excellence of legacy brands, whilst staying ahead of the latest trends and innovations to ensure that our offering is unmatched on the African continent.

I’d like to invite you to come to visit our showroom, have some coffee, and explore all that Culinary has to offer you and your business. 


 

We Don't Just Sell Equipment

We build intuitive solutions for chefs and industry because we not only build kitchens - we operate them too. 

We have an intimate knowledge of what works and what doesn’t in a professional setting.
