MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — RATIONAL Canada celebrated the grand opening of its brand-new Canadian headquarters last week in Mississauga, Ont. The event also marked the company’s 50th anniversary.
The grand-opening event, held at the new RATIONAL Canada headquarters, was attended by more than 100 industry leaders, partners, dealers, esteemed guests and team members, and paid homage to the brand’s remarkable journey over the past five decades, as well as its unwavering commitment to providing cutting-edge thermal cooking solutions that transform commercial kitchens. The cutting-edge facility boasts modern design, collaborative spaces, and state-of-the-art kitchens.
“Today, as we inaugurate our new office, we reflect on our remarkable journey and the strides we’ve made in shaping the foodservice industry in Canada,” said Louis-Philippe Audette, president and CEO of RATIONAL Canada. “Our 50th anniversary signifies not only our achievements but also the promise of a future filled with innovative solutions that will continue to empower chefs, restaurants, and foodservice establishments.”

“When it tastes great, we all speak the same language”—that’s the motto of RATIONAL’s 50th-anniversary celebration. While the world is full of different people, cultures, traditions, religions, languages, and dishes, when food tastes great, everyone’s on the same page,” said Audette.
