kp Infinity Tavola takes centre stage at European Pizza Show

Klöckner Pentaplast (kp) will put pizza delivery performance firmly in the spotlight at this year’s European Pizza Show, showcasing its Infinity Tavola.

Taking place at London’s Excel Centre on 18 to 19 November, the event will see kp exhibit on stand F30 and sponsor the European Pizza Chef Competition. kp Infinity Tavola will also take to the competition stage, with packs supplied to all 40 competing chefs to present their pizzas to the jury.

Developed for pizzerias, quick service restaurants and delivery operators, kp Infinity Tavola uses extruded polypropylene (XPP) foam to help pizza stay hotter for longer. Comparative testing found pizzas were up to 7.3°C hotter after five minutes than in traditional alternatives.

The lightweight 12 inch pack comprises two matching parts that lock together for takeaway and delivery and open out for serving. It requires no box folding or assembly, helps contain oil and grease, and is recyclable within widely available collection and recycling streams.

Austin Schwarz, sales director, UK&I at kp, said: ‘Pizza makers put enormous care into what comes out of the oven. The challenge is making sure that quality carries through to the moment customers open their order. Packaging has an important role to play in making that happen.

‘European Pizza Show is the perfect environment to demonstrate what kp Infinity Tavola can do. Visitors will be able to see the pack for themselves on our stand, but importantly, they will also see it being used in the Pizza Chef Competition by the people who understand pizza best.’
