CHICAGO, May 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The world largest appliances manufacturer, Midea, will launch its new Commercial Food Service equipment line-up at this year's National Restaurant Association (NRA) trade show from May 20 to 23 at the McCormick Center in Chicago.

During the four-day event, the company, located at booth #8627, will exhibit a new line of commercial cooking products that feature its state-of-the-art technologies and design, which will be launched in the US under the Midea Brand for the first time.

"Why not a Midea-branded product?" said Gino Iacovella, Director of Business Development for Midea America's Division of Midea's Kitchen Appliances. "Our company has been making products as an OEM Manufacturer for many years for some of the top brands in the US Marketplace. Now it's time for us to stand on our own and grow our brand."

"Commercial microwaves are just the start of the new categories that Midea will launch in the US. Midea is a leader in not only cooking equipment, but also a worldwide leader in dishwashers, air conditioning, and refrigeration."
