Araven is a Spanish manufacturer of professional equipment for the hospitality and foodservice sectors (HoReCa). Founded in 1976 in Zaragoza, the company specializes in the design, development, production, and marketing of solutions for food preservation, handling, serving, display, catering transport, and cleaning.
Its primary products include Gastronorm (GN) pans and lids, airtight storage containers, ingredient bins, and related accessories, typically made from polypropylene and other durable plastics. In October 2026, Araven launched nearly 50 new references in three product lines using Tritan Renew, a BPA-free copolyester from Eastman containing at least 25% recycled content assigned via mass balance. These maintain high clarity, impact resistance, and thermal performance from -40°C to +90°C while supporting European regulatory compliance and circularity goals.
Headquartered in Villanueva de Gállego (Zaragoza province), Spain, Araven exports to more than 80 countries and holds a leading position in the European professional kitchen equipment market. In July 2024, it was acquired by U.S.-based CFS Brands and operates as an independent entity within the group. The company maintains ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications and emphasizes food safety, hygiene compliance, and sustainability.
