65 years ago Cambro started with one product: the Camtray. One product. One skew. Today, Cambro manufactures over 13,000 products which equal 33,000 skews. Since 2005, the center of Cambro's world wide warehousing and distribution system is Cambro City of Industry, or COY facility. Located 30 miles north of Cambro's headquarters in Huntington Beach California, the COY facility boasts an impressive 320,000 sq. ft. of space that warehouses over 1 million cases of product. While its main purpose is the central warehouse for Cambro, the activity at COY includes more than you think, such as fulfilling sample request, receiving, shipping to regional distribution around the world, and shipping replacement parts. 25,000 cases of product come in every day from our manufacturing facilities, most of it from our Huntington Beach factories. Cambro manufactures and distributes products all over the world. Regional facilities like those in Germany, Turkey, India, and China all manufacture a selection of products for those markets. The rest of Cambro products sold there and all over the world come from COY. The City of Industry facility operates 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. Three shifts work around the clock. Each shift has the responsibility to pick a certain number of products and ship them out by the end of their shift. 1st and 2nd shifts also receive and put away products from our factories in Huntington Beach. 2nd shift also handles the product samples shipment. More than 3,000 sample requests are processed monthly. Samples are kept in a dust free environment in our efficiently designed sample room. With 47 dock doors, COY can accommodate inbound and outbound traffic. To process 25,00 cases ever day you need automation. Our automated warehouse system scans the bar code and then matches it up with the correct order and quantity of item that is supposed to come through. Those orders are grouped together on pallets for shipping. The pallet flow operation is where all the high moving products are warehoused several pallets deep. The equipment zipping around this massive warehouse is all electric;12 pickers and quite a few forklifts. One charge is enough for a busy shift around the warehouse. Just like 65 years ago with the first Camtray, Cambro still relies upon our employees, like the ones at COY, to make sure the products the food service industry relies on makes it to them on time.

Hi, Felix Bazgan here to discuss one of the most important aspects of food safety: hand-washing. Hand-washing in the single most effect means of preventing the spread of bacteria and viruses which can cause infections and foodborne illness. A few instances where hand-washing should take place are: before starting to work with food, utensils, or equipment; during food preparation as need; when switching between raw foods and ready-to-eat-foods; after handling soiled utensils and equipment; and of course after coughing, sneezing, eating, drinking, or using the restroom.

In a typical commercial kitchen, this should be standard practice. However, what happens when you are catering off site, or prepping and serving meals at a location without running water or electricity? Here's where the Cambro hand-wash station is the perfect solution. This hand wash station sets up quickly and easily in any environment and uses something most of you already have: the Cambro camtainer.

There are four components to the hand wash station. First, you'll need a two-and-a-half gallon or five-gallon camtainer, or ultra-camtainer. Next, the hand-washer accessory, which easily attaches to the camtainer, and using "hand-wash only" labels and easy-serve dispenser, turns a camtainer from a beverage dispenser to a convenient and economical way to meet health department hand-washing requirements.

The Velcro strap quickly and easily secures the hand-wash accessory to the camtainer. The third component is a camtainer riser, which increases the use of the hand-wash station. Finally, the Cambro five-and-a-half gallon pail makes for a safe disposal of waste water. The two hand-wash models Cambro offers both have a soap dispenser and are available with a paper towel roll holder or multi-fold paper towel dispenser.

    hot tea beverages dispensers events catering coffee Easy sized cold
    We purchased this cambro so we could cater iced tea at outdoor events. It keeps the tea chilled and the spout is easy to use/does not leak. Additionally, the 2.5 gallon size is perfect for medium-sized catering and the handles make it easy to carry.
    from Meadowlark Coffee on
    This has been a valuable tool for catering and event sales. The dispenser holds a good amount of coffee (about 4 airpots worth), and keeps in nice and hot!
    from The French Press Coffee Co. on
    I use these containers for iced tea and hot tea service at my farmers market stand, events and festivals. They keep beverages hot for over 6 hours in my experience. They are easy to load and unload from my small vehicle without help. I will definitely be acquiring more of these.
    from The Savage Patch on
    The perfect sized camtainer! 2.5 Gallons is a great volume of beverages and these units stack well for double service as well as for storage. We are able to keep hot beverages hot for a few hours and cold ones even longer. This is definitely a better cold beverage unit than hot. Easy to clean.

    These are excellent. We bought these for catering. They hold the heat like no other. Great priced. DURABLE! Fast shipping as always. I will buy more if needed. Thanks
    from Coffee Beanery/ L&A Cafe, LLC. on
    We 3 of these 2.5 gallon dispensers and 2 of the 4.5 gallon disperses and have had nothing but good luck. These do a good job of keeping our coffee hot and our tea cold. Also with our older containers by some other brand there was some dripping after a few uses but after 3 years these are still going strong. Highly recommended!!
    from Breads, Buns, n' More! on
    I have three of these that I use for all my catering events. They hold a lot of product, and are extremely durable. Great price, recommend this to everyone I know.
    from The new haven cafe on
    We we had to replace some of our beverage dispensers. After checking with our regular suppliers we found the Webstaurant had the best price. They had updated the dispensers a little since our last ones, the top vent can be hard to tell if it is open or closed by just looking at it as well as pulling on the vent because there is so little movement. Not a bad design but could have been a little simpler. Over all Cambro produces a quality product and we are looking forward to several years of use out of the replacements. Some of the old ones had lasted 10 years or more.
    from Niceville UMC on
    We have had another brand, and after a few uses, their lids warped, and coffee would come sloshing out. Not so with this one. It has a good design for serving (coffee stays hot if it isn't too empty) and for storage.
    from The Coffee Oasis on
