Second life by Athanor
Why does Athanor make reconditioned cooking suites?
Refurbishment, in our workshop or directly on site, is part of our commitment to durability and the preservation of raw materials. Our desire to offer reconditioned cooking suites in a more straightforward way comes from the possibility of:
• Reusing equipment that was originally built to last.
Why destroy what can endure?
• Playing our part, at our own scale, in a responsible approach.
Why stay passive when we have a role to play at our level? Discover our commitments.
• Optimising resource management and reducing raw-material extraction.
Why extract again when material already consumed has kept its properties?
Cooking suites built to last
As a manufacturer, we have full knowledge and history of everything we have produced. Our custom cooking suites are built to last and now, thanks to the quality and traceability of our manufacturing processes, to live several lives and even evolve.
What allows us to give our cooking suites several lives:
- The quality of the materials used, selected for their resistance to heat variations and intensive kitchen use
- A precise manufacturing process that leaves nothing to chance and adapts to the configuration of each custom suite to ensure its longevity
- The structured, monitored organisation of our manufacturing process, from 3D production drawings to assembly in our workshop, preserving a precise history of everything we build
Reconditioning by the manufacturer:
mastery, continuity and evolution
Your custom Athanor cooking suite was built in our workshop, in France. During the refurbishment process:
- The precise diagnosis of each element
- The replacement of technical components
- The operating tests
are carried out by the same team as during its original manufacture. The parts used to refurbish a suite are exactly the same as those fitted to a new one. This continuity allows us to control the quality of our reconditioning and guarantees a suite with the same technical capacities and the same sturdiness as a new one. We are committed to extending the sturdiness and performance of every suite.
Our expertise means we only replace the parts that need replacing, case by case and according to their condition, after a precise diagnosis of each element.
An Athanor suite reconditioned by our team benefits from the same one-year guarantee as a new suite.
Our team’s intervention on an existing suite can also make it evolve: transformation or addition of an element, structural adjustment… We can study every request and give you a precise answer on the possible adaptations and their budget impact, within technical constraints.
Would you like to explore the possibilities of transforming or trading in your Athanor suite? Please contact us directly.
Refurbishment allows you to:
- Set off again for several years of peace of mind with a 100% overhauled suite
- Benefit from our expertise as the manufacturer
- Review and optimise the use of your custom cooking suite
- Benefit from a one-year guarantee on your suite
- Make the suite evolve with your establishment (for example, replacing gas elements with electric ones after giving up gas)
Whether back in our Apprieu workshop or directly on site, refurbishment is possible. For on-site refurbishment, our production team travels to you to guarantee the continuity of the intervention.
Do you own an Athanor suite and wish to have it fully refurbished? We can study on-site feasibility, without shipping the suite to our workshop.

One suite, several lives
Welcome to MALTACINA, in Saint-Théoffrey. The chef and owner, Kévin, was able to benefit from a “second life” suite from the very creation of his restaurant. This small central suite was perfectly suited to his organisation and to the dimensions of the kitchen. 38 hours of work were needed to refurbish it (40 hours for the original build). This suite required only 71 kg of additional material, preserving 82.68% of the material.
Since 2011, at Atmosphères, I have been lucky enough to work with Athanor suites in the various restaurants where I trained. It was only natural that I wanted to open my own establishment with this jewel of innovation. So when I was offered a fully refurbished suite, I jumped at the chance.
Today this indispensable tool allows me to offer precise, innovative and environmentally-friendly cuisine, where my vision and the Athanor spirit come together.
— A word from chef Kévin
Let’s discover the SQUARE, in Meylan. After a few years of operation, Emilie and Thibault upgraded their kitchen with the installation of a “second life” suite. This suite, initially designed for a central layout, was adapted to be installed against the wall. 51 hours of work were needed to refurbish it (66 hours for the original build). This suite required only 50 kg of additional material, preserving 90% of the material.
We called on Athanor to install a central reconditioned suite in our restaurant, replacing our old one. From the start, their support was serious, professional and perfectly suited to our needs, despite the technical constraints of reorganising our kitchen. The equipment installed is of high quality, sturdy and well designed for kitchen use. Day to day, this suite has truly changed the way we work: more comfort, more efficiency and real time savings during service; it has become the centrepiece of the kitchen, and everything is organised around it. We are fully satisfied and recommend Athanor for their expertise and the quality of their equipment.
