Grand Hall Enterprise Co Ltd started in Taiwan in 1976 and went on to become one of the largest outdoor kitchen, grill and barbecue manufacturers in the world. Simon Gregory, director at Grand Hall UK Ltd, talks about the company’s UK launch.
Grand Hall has a long and successful history in outdoor dining and is recognised as one of the largest outdoor kitchen, grill and barbecue manufacturers in the world. In June, Grand Hall launched in the UK and will debut its product range at GLEE 2011 on September 19-21 at the NEC in Birmingham.
Grand Hall will be showcasing its innovative new lpg barbecue grills alongside global favourites from its existing range, and visitors will be able to meet the UK team, sample some gourmet delights cooked up on the stand, and see how Grand Hall design features will bring a new level of satisfaction to UK customers.
We will be launching three entirely new lp gas barbecue ranges – the GT Series of 3 and 4 burner lpg gas carts, and island and built in models. The range not only includes a traditional burner and flame tamer model, but GT also launches a new technology. Integrill brings the burners closer to the grill, more effectively heating the cooking surface and therefore using less lp gas, making it at least 25 per cent more efficient.
Our grandest design of all will also be at GLEE – the premium X Series 1 & 2, designed for Grand Hall by the Porsche design studio and engineered by the Porsche Engineering Group. This uber-grill combines cutting edge Crossray infrared technology and functionality with innovation and Porsche trademark design to provide a design classic that will bring a smile to customers year after year.
A core range of Grand Hall global favourites will be available to UK retailers – Maxim and Xenon, which both feature traditional stainless steel burners with flame tamers; Odeon, which incorporates Crossray technology, and the high performance infrared electric E-Grill, which is perfect for urban dining where outdoor space is minimal. Our range will appeal to consumer audiences with a variety of budgets, but with the common factors that they want to invest in a beautifully crafted barbecue that will last, that reflects maximum quality for the investment made and will produce first class results every time.
Grand Hall UK Ltd is a subsidiary of Dutch parent company Grand Hall Europe. With sales in more than 25 countries and six global operations – Taiwan, Netherlands, USA, China, Australia and the UK – the company has an impressive worldwide turnover of $150 million. Our R&D is based in Australia, the homeland of barbecue cooking, so you can be assured that Grand Hall outdoor kitchens and grills are developed and tested by the experts. We have also developed a pricing model that will offer retailers the most competitive margins in the industry, combined with a product that will please customers time and time again. The Grand Hall brand is well known worldwide for its quality and innovative use of technology, which make its lpg grills up to 40 per cent more energy efficient than its rivals. In an increasingly competitive market, Grand Hall offers retailers an interesting alternative to existing brands at all price points.
With a new and dedicated UK operation, working with Grand Hall couldn’t be easier. Grand Hall’s employees are committed to providing the finest professional assistance and advice to create a reliable partner to work with at all times. In addition, Grand Hall China is a stakeholder in the company, which minimises the disruption that can sometimes be associated with the country’s annual festivals and holidays.
