Since 1933: Buffet systems and serving solutions for the professional foodservice industry
APS was founded in 1933 and remains an owner-managed German family business headquartered in Sundern in the Sauerland region. For over nine decades, the brand has consistently focused on three core areas: buffet, tabletop, and bar. Today, the product line includes over 3,000 items across eight product categories, some of which are manufactured directly at the company’s own facility.
What sets APS apart is the combination of clean lines, durable materials, and consistent functionality. Stainless steel, melamine, glass, wood, and natural slate create a high-quality look and feel and stand up to daily use. For the foodservice industry, this means a buffet setup that can be reconfigured time and again to suit any concept—hygienic, durable, and with an eye for detail.
Whether it’s a breakfast buffet at a city hotel, a cold buffet at a banquet, or the daily food presentation in a communal dining setting: The APS product line is designed with the real-world operations of the foodservice industry in mind. The items complement each other, can be combined, and build on one another, creating a harmonious overall look from individual products.
Melamine and Natural Slate: The Materials Behind Them
Melamine is one of the key materials in the APS line. The items are heat-resistant, shatterproof, and dishwasher-safe, and they impress with their elegant porcelain-like appearance while remaining fully suitable for everyday use. The APS natural slate plates complement the line with a natural contrast: Thanks to their excellent heat retention, they are ideal for serving cold dishes and add distinctive visual accents to a buffet.

Melamine is one of the key materials in the APS product line. The items are heat-resistant, shatterproof, and dishwasher-safe, and feature an elegant porcelain-like finish. Melamine cutlery trays, chilled serving platters, serving bowls, and GN inserts give the buffet a high-quality appearance without sacrificing the durability required for daily use. This makes APS melamine products the preferred choice for hotels, catering companies, and institutional food service operations with heavy daily use. APS natural slate plates are in a category of their own: Thanks to their excellent heat retention, these stackable plates are ideal for arranging and serving chilled dishes. Their natural appearance adds distinctive visual accents to a buffet or a set table. Note: Natural slate plates must be cleaned by hand and are not dishwasher-safe.
For the bar area, APS offers a wide selection of functional accessories that blend seamlessly with the rest of its product line. Serving carts enable efficient service in dining areas and at banquet events. Buffet display cases and presentation systems effectively showcase food even in smaller spaces. The breadth of the product line makes it possible to set up a buffet from scratch using products from a single brand, ensuring material consistency and a cohesive look.
