Carpigiani’s stand in Hall C1 at Sigep World 2026 was packed with new products for gelato, soft serve, catering and pastry. Here is a quick recap of what visitors saw.

New machines and previews

• Ready 40 60 (Sigep preview): a floor-standing machine for producing fresh gelato that completes the Ready range, well suited to high-volume gelato shops.
• ReadyChef 8 12 (Sigep preview): billed as the most compact multifunction machine on the market, with over 30 programs for gelato, pastry and chocolate. It is aimed at restaurant, bistro and pizzeria kitchens.
• Synthesis 1 counter top: a compact, versatile gelato station that prepares, serves and stores gelato in full view, ideal for restaurants, bars, bistros and pizzerias.
• 161 K Syrup Injection: a milkshake machine that can dispense up to 8 characterising syrups, combined as the shake is poured, for colourful shakes with plenty of wow factor.
• UF 920 SP and UF 720 SP: floor-standing machines with two flavours plus a mix, built for high volumes, heavy traffic and extra-large portions. You can now switch from soft serve to shakes at the touch of a button.
• Nuvia: a new-generation machine that whips cream, mousse and other creamy preparations in different volumes and portions. It uses an eco-friendly CO₂-based refrigerant and a simplified cleaning system that makes daily sanitising quick and helps monitor overall cleanliness.

The Green Line area

A big part of the stand was given to energy-efficient, low-impact solutions in the “Green Line” area. Visitors could see new gelato machines and pasteurisers using natural CO₂ (carbon dioxide) cooling, a technology Carpigiani says is several years ahead of European regulations.
