Display cabinets, refrigerated counters and furnishing systems: this is what Francesco Lollobrigida, Minister of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry, saw when he visited the Frigomeccanica stands at SIGEP World 2026. Frigomeccanica is a historic Italian company specialising in the design and production of furnishing and refrigeration solutions for the HoReCa and Food sectors.
SIGEP World is the international trade show of reference for the gelato, pastry, artisan bakery, coffee and foodservice sectors. The Minister’s visit was a moment of direct dialogue between institutions and industry, right at the heart of the fair.
