Umbrella brand of Gastro Arena.de GmbH
We have been working with and for the restaurant trade for more than 25 years, and in stainless steel fabrication for more than 30. ARENA Group brings together the brands of our family business from Berlin-Neukölln.
It all began with a stainless steel workshop in Neukölln. In the mid-1990s, Koca & Igac GbR was founded as a stainless steel fabricator. Our own ocakbaşı model followed in 1999, and around 2001 we started fitting out commercial kitchens.
The workshop grew into a partner for complete kitchens: since 2009, Gastro Arena.de GmbH has been planning and fitting out restaurant and commercial kitchens. Step by step, our own brands followed: for stainless steel, for equipment, for the ocakbaşı and for the industry itself.
Since 2014 they have shared the ARENA Group umbrella brand. Showroom and production are still in one place on Bergiusstraße today.
Each brand has its own job. Behind all of them are the same workshop and the same team.
Planning & fit-out · since 2009
Gastro Arena is the partner for commercial kitchens. From planning and production to the finished kitchen, everything comes from a single source. We show catering equipment from many manufacturers in our own showroom.
Our mascot Döner Bros. is also part of Gastro Arena.
Custom stainless steel furniture · since 2024
It all started with stainless steel fabrication. In its own workshop, INOXWERK builds work tables, sink units and custom pieces to measure, tailored to every room.
Known as Inox Arena until 2024.
Own catering equipment · since 2018
Our own brand of catering equipment: refrigerated counters and fridges, cooking equipment such as ranges, fryers and griddles, plus doner and grill equipment.
Available from Gastro Arena.
Charcoal grill · since 2015
The ocakbaşı is one of the highlights of Turkish cuisine: guests sit at the open grill and watch the master at work. Traditionally it is made of copper.
We developed our ocakbaşı ourselves: our own product, built since 1999 and present under the The Ocakbaşı brand since 2015.
Made by INOXWERK.
