Samaref at iMEAT 2026: innovation and new solutions for meat and fish.

iMEAT 2026 has just concluded at BolognaFiere, providing an important opportunity for butchers, charcuterie producers, delicatessen professionals and meat processing specialists to meet and exchange ideas.

Over the three days of the trade fair, Samaref welcomed numerous visitors and industry specialists to its stand, keen to explore technologies and solutions for preserving, processing and enhancing the quality of meat and fish.

An opportunity to showcase products that embody Samaref’s 100% Made in Italy quality, designed to meet professionals’ needs with a particular focus on precise control, versatility and more efficient day-to-day work.

Talent: technology that expands the possibilities in butchery.
Products on display at the stand included Talent multifunction blast chillers, presented in both the Roll-in and 12-tray versions, with the latter taking centre stage in the live cooking demonstration area.

Here, visitors were able to see Talent in action across a wide range of preparations, following each stage and tasting the results. From mortadella to porchetta and many other specialities, the demonstrations offered practical examples of the potential of technology designed to expand preparation possibilities in butchery and foodservice.

With an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C, a dedicated recipe collection for the sector and the ability to automatically link multiple cycles, Talent offers a complete solution for organising and optimising production, allowing preparation processes to be scheduled even overnight.

Stagionatura: precision and control at every stage.
The cabinet from the Stagionatura range also attracted considerable interest, designed to ensure extremely precise temperature and humidity control.

Two essential parameters for managing the process precisely and ensuring controlled, consistent conditions over time. A solution designed for professionals seeking reliability and precision to bring out the best in their products.

Deluxe Meat XL: space, durability and showcasing meat at its best.
Meat dry-aging was showcased by Deluxe Meat in its XL version, which displayed several particularly large loin cuts.

An opportunity to see first-hand the sturdiness of the shelves and the practicality of the pull-out hook rack, both designed to make products easier to handle, even during the most demanding operations.

The large display window and pink LED lighting also caught visitors’ attention, with the lighting designed to enhance the meat’s visual appeal and make it the focal point of the display area.

Deluxe Plus Crystal: dry-aging becomes a spectacle.
Among the most popular innovations at this year’s event, Samaref presented Deluxe Plus Crystal at a trade fair for the first time, the new version of its cabinet designed for dry-aging meat and fish.

Its distinguishing feature is its two glazed sides: a glass door at the front and a display window at the rear, allowing the product to be admired from different angles and turning the dry-aging process into a striking visual feature.

Inside the cabinet, a large greater amberjack undergoing dry-aging attracted visitors’ attention, demonstrating the versatility of a solution designed for both meat and fish.

Completing the design is the new lighting system with four LED bars, which highlights the product’s details and enhances its presentation. An innovation that combines functionality, technology and aesthetics, opening up new possibilities also for settings where the display becomes an integral part of the customer experience.
