Product Development Teak Chafers Products

Twenty two years ago I was working as night manager for a very exclusive polynesian resort in Hawaii. This resort featured thatched roof bungalows and total polynesian decor. The luaus were promoted as the most authentic in Hawaii but I was dismayed to see that in the midst of all this rustic elegance the buffets were served in stainless steel chafing dishes. I had recently built an ocean cruising catamaran and still had a complete wood shop so I decided to design a more appropriate chafing cabinet. The result was the teak chafer we have been selling for over twenty two years.

We have manufactured a large variety of teak products under the company name KAP BANQUET PRODUCTS but recently decided to concentrate production solely on our teak split lid chafer which has consistantly accounted for 90% of sales.

A few years ago the Travel channel produced a show featuring the ten best hotels in the United States. Nine of these ten hotels were using our teak chafers as are hundreds of the best hospitality outlets worldwide. The confidence our customers have in our chafers has allowed us to operate exclusively on repeat and referral basis with vertually no marketing expenses. Very few companies can claim this enviable position
